.NET Component security consideration.

[Divyesh]

Hello,

I'm designing new distributed application which may result in many .net
assemblies (dll/exe). Obviously there has to be mechanism for them to
communicate with each other. But I don't want to reveal datastructes in my
components i.e. how should i take care all individual components can only be
accessed by my other components and no data passed between them can be
sniffed?
What are the security mechanism provided by .NET to protect assemblies?

Divyesh,

I would take a look into COM+ using Enterprise Services. With it, you
can encrypt and check the hash of parameters passed between distributed
calls between machines (which verify privacy and integrity), as well as
designate certain components as private to your application (which would be
your data structures).

Hope this helps.
