I am not trying to guard against any particular type of attack, I just want to have some general security measures for account information protection (login/password/CD-Key) that are being sent across the client and server.
I am attempting to implement WSASetSocketSecurity but I am having a difficult time of it due to a lack of documentation and examples. I apparently have the security settings enabled, the client connects to local computer on the same system, but when I connect to remote server it fails to connect.
I must admit I don't even know if I am going in the right direction with this. It almost literally like seems one step forward two steps back. If I cannot get this security socket protocol working I may just proceed with the salt/hashing algorithms on a non-secure socket and just call it there.
