Hi,

I'm developing a client/server application. If I know for sure that only my client can interact with the server, I can avoid a lot of business logic in my server since I can assert that all received data has the right format and type.
So, I'd like to know if there is some standard way to let the server knows that the client which is trying to connect is the right one.
I have thought of some kind of private handshake, but the trouble I see here is that if someone takes the ildasm tool will see how the client implements the handshake, so it'll be easy then to replicate the behaviour to cheat the server.
What would you recommend?.

Cheers.
