Rahul Chavan · Answer

WsHTTPBinding: It uses WS-* specifications like WS-Addressing WS-Security and WS-ReliableMessaging. Messages are encrypted by default. It support Transactions. As WsHttBinding supports WS-* it has WS-Security enabled by default. So the data is not sent in plain text. It supports HTTP or HTTPS protocols. Should be used when you require reliable communication and Transactions support.
