Hi,

I'm quite new to .NET (3.0) and I would like to aks you for some
basic info (links, tutorials, etc) regarding webservice security
issues.
I think my problem is quite frequent and for sure there is a simple
answer for it - I'm developing a webservice that will provide some
processing (of whatever) for free (no credentials, authentication,
etc). How can I prevent the 'flooding' of my server by someone? (Note:
the processing on the server can be quite time-consuming.)

Thanks!
