Hi List,
We are experiencing some problems encrypting messages with optimized
MTOM attachments. Say a client need to send an image(or binary
content) in a confidential way.
I do not understand why somebody need to encrypt MTOM
attachment. AFAIU, There is no real value in MTOM message unless MTOM
receiving endpoint. There is no point eavesdropping MTOM message I
guess.
Confidential data can be in any form. And eavesdroppers would not
neglect MTOM attachments. For example an image taken by a security
camera that need to be transfered to the Central Investigation Unit as
an MTOM attachment. ;) Just to name one. Also anything in the binary
form. A secret key for example.
So we need to make sure that its not visible in the wire content. That's
why we need to encrypt.

Please bare with my limited security knowledge.
thanks,
