Data Encryption in https request through C# windows client application.

0.00/5 (No votes)

Hi,

I am connecting to a secure server over https from my C# windows client application. I would like to know do I need to take care of data encryption by creating encryption key or HttpWebRequest will take care of it for me?

As for browser, it creates a encryption key and shares it with server by encrypting it with servers public key. Then any communication between browser and server is encrypted by using that encryption key.

For a C# windows application, do I need to follow the steps which browser follows or .Net classes will take care of everything?

Thanks
Nitin

as far as my knowledge is concerned, if you are doing your connection through https protocol then your data will be secured , you dont need to do any encryption or decryption at all
