IdentityPolicy Class

Namespace: System.Net.Security

Assembly: System.Net.dll

Remarks

The IdentityPolicy class provides a mechanism for validating the identity of an entity establishing a secure connection. It defines rules and criteria that must be met to consider an identity trustworthy. This class is crucial for implementing robust security protocols where verifying the authenticity of communicating parties is paramount.

It typically works in conjunction with other security classes to manage certificates, establish trust relationships, and enforce access control policies based on validated identities.
