Matt, I have done several implementations similar to what you mention.
Here are some pointers (I can send you code too if you would like): When sending any sensitive data (i.e. username. password, etc...) via WS from iPhone, encrypt the data (I like to use MD5) before sending to the WS. _____________ Arsen Pereymer --- On Thu, 1/8/09, Matt Keyes <matt_ke...@hotmail.com> wrote: From: Matt Keyes <matt_ke...@hotmail.com> Subject: Encryption and Security To: cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com Date: Thursday, January 8, 2009, 12:54 PM Hello, I am working on an iPhone app that communicates with a .NET SOAP web service. I have the SOAP client down, but now I need to think about the security. The .NET web service ultimately will be validating the Windows login as part of the communication process, and I am trying to think how best to handle this on the iPhone. My thoughts are that maybe using SSL would be good or encrypting part of the data in the transmission (we tend to use Rijndael in most of our apps). I am relatively new to Cocoa, however, and I would appreciate some pointers. I know the CryptoSample project exists out there, but I am not clear as to what is possible on the iPhone. Can I use SSL? If not, could I use Rijndael or some other common encryption method? If so (for any of this), can anyone point me to a sample. Any help is appreciated!
