System.Security.Authentication Namespace

Provides a set of enumerations that describe the security of a connection. These enumerations include CipherAlgorithmType, ExchangeAlgorithmType, HashAlgorithmType, and SslProtocols.

Classes

AuthenticationException

The exception that is thrown when authentication fails for an authentication stream.

InvalidCredentialException

The exception that is thrown when authentication fails for an authentication stream and cannot be retried.

Enums

CipherAlgorithmType

Defines the possible cipher algorithms for the SslStream class.

ExchangeAlgorithmType

Specifies the algorithm used to create keys shared by the client and server.

HashAlgorithmType

Specifies the algorithm used for generating message authentication codes (MACs).

SslProtocols

Defines the possible versions of SslProtocols.
