You can set up encrypted authentication using Diffe-Hellman or the sample PKCS implementation.
- **[Encrypt Credentials with Diffe-Hellman](overviewencryptcred.html)**
For secure transmission of sensitive credentials like passwords, encrypt credentials using the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm. With Diffie-Hellman enabled, you can have your client authenticate its servers.
- **[Using PKCS for Encrypted Authentication](PKCS.html)**
This section discusses the concepts and configurations for the sample UserPassword and PKCS implementations. Descriptions of their interfaces, classes, and methods are available in the API.
