WCF Security modes provided in .NET

Across all service bindings there are five possible security modes:

• None. Turns security off.
• Transport. Uses transport security for mutual authentication and message protection.
• Message. Uses message security for mutual authentication and message protection.
• Both. Allows you to supply settings for transport and message-level security (only MSMQ supports this).
• TransportWithMessageCredential. Credentials are passed with the message and message protection and server authentication are provided by the transport layer.
• TransportCredentialOnly. Client credentials are passed with the transport layer and no message protection is applied
