TransmitsCredentialsInClearText

Gets whether the mechanism exposes the password to anyone able to read the channel.

public bool TransmitsCredentialsInClearText { get; }

Property Value

bool

Remarks

Challenge-response mechanisms still leak the exchange to an attacker who can read the channel, but only a clear-text mechanism hands over the reusable password itself, which is why the policy singles them out.
