I have a WCF Service hosted as Windows Service and client is an ASP.Net application consuming WCF Service methods.
In process of implementing security, I am confused over which among netTcpBinding/wsHttpBinding will be suitable for my case.
Most likely all the applications in scene (WCF Service, Windows Service, ASP.Net Website) will be sitting on different servers in our office, thus in an Intranet. ASP.Net website will be accessed by users over Internet.
Though, I can always use wsHttpBinding here, will it be suitable to set the service endpoint using netTcpBinding in my case?

Primarily BasicHttpBinding is designed to exchange SOAP over HTTP(s) only, just like old ASMX or . net web services and supports the WS-I BasicProfile. WsHttpBinding supports the advanced WS-* specification which includes WS-Addressing and WS-Security etc.
The NetTcpBinding generates a run-time communication stack by default, which uses transport security, TCP for message delivery, and a binary message encoding. This binding is an appropriate Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) system-provided choice for communicating over an Intranet.
BasicHttpBinding is suitable for communicating with ASP.NET Web Service (ASMX) based services that conform to the WS-Basic Profile that conforms with Web Services. This binding uses HTTP as the transport and text/XML as the default message encoding. Security is disabled by default.
What Is Binding In WCF. Binding describes how a client is going to communicate to WCF service. Binding is used as per client need. It supports different types of protocol to communicate with client and different types of encoding to transfer the data over the internet.

As for your case, as long as it's the web server contacting the WCF service and you don't need to provide an endpoint for any external consumers of the service...netTcpBinding should be up to the job.
