title: Ws binding with encoded value vs Basic Http Binding over https
body: <p>I have a WCF service. For security reasons I want to encrypt the messages sent to and from the service. </p>
  
  <p>The service is deployed on a server with a certificate so I could use basic http binding with HTTPS. However previously I have used WS-Binding using the encoded value property with a value generated from the certificate used on the server.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a security benefit in ws binding with encoded value. If basic http binding is used with https would that not deliver the same level of protection? </p>
