AppFabric Caching transport security

I'd like to understand how security works in Windows Server AppFabric Cache. If i have it defined like

<securityPropertie开发者_开发百科s mode="Transport" protectionLevel="EncryptAndSign" />

how does it encrypt the communication? Is it SSL? If it is how do i configure which certificate to use? Does AppFabric Cache utilize WCF internally or use some custom protocol?

AppFabric Caching uses Windows identity information for all encryption/signing. Specifically, whatever Windows identity your cache client process is running as when it communicates with the cache server.

It's the same as if you were using raw WCF and applied the WindowsStreamSecurityBindingElement with a corresponding ProtectionLevel.
