Network Security Features

Windows CE supports program comprehension tool (PCT) 1.0 and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) versions 2.0 and 3.0 security protocols. These protocols are available either through WinINET or directly from Winsock.

The simplest approach to using the security protocols is to use WinINET.

    To access security protocols with WinINET
  1. Connect with InternetConnect, using the INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE flag.
    1. For HTTP, invoke HttpOpenRequest, with the desired security flags set.
  2. Proceed with the remainder of the session as described in "Using WinINET to Access HTTP" earlier in this chapter.
