title: Securing a Web Service with X.509 certificate. Which is best?
body: <p>I am quite a novice at this so please bear with me. I have a web service developed with WCF that will be consumed by non-.NET client. Currently I am looking to secure it. I have come to the conclusion the best option is to use WsHttpBinding and an X509 certificate. However, when it comes to obtaining a certificate I am a bit lost. Is a X509 the same as an SSL certificate? What it the best certificate I should be looking to get for such a scenario? </p>
