Transport Layer Security (TLS) support for .NET

Transport Layer Security (TLS) support for .NET

IBM MQ classes for .NET client applications support Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. The TLS protocol provides communications security over the internet, and allow client/server applications to communicate in a way that is confidential and reliable.

TLS support for the unmanaged .NET client
TLS support for the unmanaged .NET client is based on the C MQI and GSKit. The C MQI handles the TLS operations and GSKit implements the TLS secure socket protocols.
TLS support for the managed .NET client
The managed .NET client uses the Microsoft.NET Framework libraries to implement TLS secure socket protocols. The Microsoft System.Net.SecuritySslStream class operates as a stream over connected TCP sockets and sends and receives data over that socket connection.
