How can I establish a secure channel for SSL/TLS from a handheld device?

Question

I am trying to call a REST method from a handheld device (Windows CE / Compact framework) with this code:

public static HttpWebRequest SendHTTPRequestNoCrede         


        

Answer 1

The .NET Compact Framework does not have ServerCertificateValidationCallback.
What you could do is to set a CertificatePolicy class to validate the certificate.

public class TrustAllCertificatePolicy : ICertificatePolicy
{
  public TrustAllCertificatePolicy()
  {
  }

  public bool CheckValidationResult(ServicePoint sp, X509Certificate cert, WebRequest req, int problem)
  {
    return true;
  }
}

...

System.Net.ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new TrustAllCertificatePolicy();
