AuthenticationLevel Enumeration
Namespace: System.Net.Security
Assembly: System.Net.Primitives.dll
Summary
Specifies the level of authentication required for a System.Net.Security.SslStream or System.Net.Security.NegotiateStream.
Remarks
The AuthenticationLevel enumeration is used to specify the type of authentication that should occur during the SSL/TLS handshake or the authentication process with NegotiateStream.
When using SslStream, this value controls whether the client and server authenticate each other. When using NegotiateStream, it controls whether authentication is performed at all.
It's crucial to set this value appropriately based on the security requirements of your application to ensure secure communication.
