Silverlight and LocalMessageSender

Question

Is the data sent back and forth using LocalMessageSender secure? Do I need to encrypt it?

Answer 1

By "secure" I assume you mean, is it encrypted already? I doubt. I can't see any reason to do this for a message which by definition is "local". That is it does not leave the computer; it does not travel over a network.

I can't see any real benefit in encrypting it either, since both sender and receiver are on the same machine it would add only a little protection.
