What level of TLS encryption is supported by the .NET Compact Framework 3.5

Question

I want to use an AES 256-bit web service with a Windows Mobile 6.1 application (.netcf 3.5).

I can't seem to find an answer ANYWHERE as to what types of encryption the SSL/TLS stack on the .net compact framework supports. Maybe I'm just being blind...

Please help! Going crazy!

Answer 1

This is one question for which the only correct answer is that "it depends". In this case, it depends on the CryptoAPI provider(s) that were built into the OS image on the target device.
