sslstream

i will provide you with my question clearly so you can answer me I have a client-server (socket) connection that i secured using SslStream and as i know using ssl makes me sure that my client will only connect to my server And to do that i must add a function to my client to validate the server certification and make sure that the server is the real one (my server) but i really don't get how could i validate my self-signed certification and want your help Regards, and my thanks in advance Imagine if the certificate were not self signed - it is signed by a trusted certificate authority. The

I am working on creating an windows service which will make a call to a API. For this process, I am trying to establish a Mutual (Two way) SSL authentication. Since I am newbie to this. I tried to implement a simple client and server project which will authenticate mutually. I have created the self signed certificate exchanged and added in trusted certificates. My Client using System; using System.Configuration; using System.Net.Security; using System.Net.Sockets; using System.Security.Authentication; using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates; using System.Text; namespace

I have a fine, working communicator application, written in C#. Now I need to implement a secure connection to the server. I've tried changing Socket and TcpClient objects into SslStream, but I got a few errors. Firstly I generated a .cer certificate using makecert. OpenSSL certificates didn't worked for me, because they didn't include private key. Next I created a certificate object on the server and bound it to the SslStream: X509Certificate serverCertificate = X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile("ca.cer"); TcpClient clientSocket = this.tcpListener.AcceptTcpClient(); SslStream ssls = new

I just need to read up to N bytes from a SslStream but if no byte has been received before a timeout, cancel, while leaving the stream in a valid state in order to try again later. (*) This can be done easily for non-SSL streams i.e. NetworkStream simply by using its ReadTimeout property which will make the stream throw an exception on timeout. Unfortunately this approach doesn't work on SslStream per the official docs: SslStream assumes that a timeout along with any other IOException when one is thrown from the inner stream will be treated as fatal by its caller. Reusing a SslStream instance

I have recently been trying to make a SSL encrypted Server/Client in C#. I have followed this tutorial on MSDN, however, it required a certificate to be created for the server and client usage using makecert.exe so I found an example and it created the certificate fine: makecert -sr LocalMachine -ss My -n "CN=Test" -sky exchange -sk 123456 c:/Test.cer but now the problem is the server starts and waits for clients, when the client connects it uses the machine name which as far as I can gather is my IP in this case: 127.0.0.1 , and then it requires the servers name which must match the servers

I have written a TCP server using the Socket class's asynchronous/IOCP methods, BeginSend()/BeginRead()/etc. I would like to add SSL capability using SslStream, but from the interface it looks like Socket and SslStream are not intended to work together, in particular because I'm not using Streams at all and SslStream appears to depend on having a Stream to work with. Is this possible, or am I looking in the wrong place? Do I need to fashion my own Stream subclass that feeds into my Socket instances and point SslStream at that? It's important to me that my server use IOCP due to scaling

Im writing an Server/Client Application which works with SSL(over SSLStream ), which has to do many things(not only file receiving/sending). Currently, It works so: Theres only one connection. I always send the data from the client/server using SSLStream.WriteLine() and receive it using SSLStream.ReadLine() , because I can send all informations over one connection and I can send from all threads without destroying the data. Now I wanted to implement the file sending and receiving. Like other things in my client/server apps, every message has a prefix (like cl_files or sth) and a base64 encoded
