Class System.Net.Security.AuthenticationCasper

Assembly: System.Net.dll

Provides a mechanism for performing authentication challenges and responses using the Casper protocol. This class is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated directly. Derived classes implement specific authentication schemes.

Remarks

The AuthenticationCasper class is designed to abstract the complexities of various authentication protocols that can be used in network communication. It defines the common interface for initiating authentication, sending credentials, and processing authentication challenges and responses. Developers typically work with derived classes that implement specific protocols like Kerberos, NTLM, or Basic authentication.

This class is primarily used internally by the .NET Framework for network security. Direct instantiation or manipulation is rarely required for typical application development.
