In the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, a random RSA key is created for each issued token request to authenticate Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services. However, some applications do not require a unique RSA key per issued token. Instead, these applications require a unique RSA key per application domain. Additionally, every time that an RSA key is generated, the performance of the application is adversely affected. This hotfix lets the same RSA key be reused. This provides a marginal improvement in performance.
This hotfix makes the SecurityMessageProperty.OutgoingSupportingToken property public in the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This lets you use a shared RSA key in an application domain. For example, this lets a Web page that consumes multiple WCF services safely use the same RSA key. Web pages that consume multiple WCF services are common in SharePoint services.
