Asp.net Security Overview: Security is one of the most important component of any application. Security is even more important when you are making a web application which is exposed to million of users. Asp.net provides classes and methods that ensure that the application is secure from outside attacks. In this article we will investigate the different types of authentication provided by Asp.net.

ASP.NET 2005 is part of a whole suite of applications and user interfaces that are packed under the banner of Visual Studio.NET 2005. Code named as Whidbey, the entire package is still being tested and the final version is slotted to be released late this year. The suite includes the .NET Framework; user interfaces like Windows forms, ASP.NET and Compact framework; Official languages like C#, J# and Visual Basic.NET; Integrated Development Environment (IDE) like Visual Studio.NET.

.NET framework is a Windows Component that supports the building and running of windows applications and XML Web services. The purpose of the component is to provide the user with a consistent object oriented programming environment whether the code is stored locally or remotely. It aims to minimize software deployment and versioning conflicts and also promote safe execution of code including codes executed by trusted third parties. It is directed towards eliminating performance problems of scripted or interpreted environments. The effort is to make developer experience consistent across a variety of applications and platforms and create communication standards that help .NET framework applications integrate with all other web based applications.

Client applications are applications that run on the client system-or the desktop of the user. They are closest to the traditional windows based applications and they display forms or windows on the desktop enabling the user perform predefined tasks. Word processors and spread sheets are examples of client applications that employ menus, GUI elements and access local resources such as printers and scanners.
