title: How to secure a webservice in .net?
body: <p>I have written a simple .NET webservice, which I will be hosted on a different server may be on different continent. I don't really know. Now, I only had its URL and I tried to use webrequest and webresponse method to access that web service vai HTTP POST. Now, I want to know is there any way to secure the webservice access, so that nobody can exploit it?</p>
  
  <p>for example:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://example.com/Verify/Verification.asmx/Verify?AccountNumber=3223&amp;ProductName=876" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://example.com/Verify/Verification.asmx/Verify?AccountNumber=3223&amp;ProductName=876</a></p>
  
  <p>Now, these are all the parameters required to call this webservice. As if now, anyone can exploit it. So how can I make it secure? Although, I am planning to get SSL and this whole thing is happening from server to server, not from client to server?</p>
