Question about TCP/IP and SSL with sslstream

Hi there,

I am using vb.net 2005 on SSL connection to a remoted server based on
TCP/IP.

So far everything is ok. Handshake is done successfully.

Now I have question about sslstream, and I am using ssltream.write to
send request.

The question is : The request I am going to send, is it automatically
encrypted and signed? or I have to do encryption and sign by call other
functions/methods ?

Waiting for your guide.

Thanks

Mars

It is automatically encrypted and signed. Those implementation details are
handled by the underlying SSL connection that you've established.
