Securing Web Services

Feb 2 2009 4:26 PM

I'm working on an ASP.Net AJAX site (using a silverlight front end) and, of course, all of the data and membership elements must be accessed from a web service.  I have no problem with this and everything is up and working.  The problem is that anyone with a brain and a knowledge of a utilty like "Live HTTP Headers" in firefox can see where my web services are and get the service method definitions, etc, etc.

My query is this:  Are there any standing practices for securing web services from the public (so that only I my app can utilize the services), and what are the best methods.

Any tutorials or documentation on how to implement this would be great.

Thanks,

Joshua Foulk
