The first thing why you have been worried about securing your service? as per the above stuff you were used to trigger some notification or internally you might refresh the data [correct me if i m wrong] if you think there might be attacks derive your threat model firsthow and what were the approaches the attacker can decrypt your servicedoes your service sending data in some parameters? AFAIK the MITM [man in the middle attack] would be suitable while testing for web application securitysince the web services have been running at your local machine/server attacker cant grab your service at ease if you were more interested in securing your services follow this guide : http://www.techrepublic.com/article/practical-examples-for-establishing-web-service-security-in-net/ hope it helps
