hello

I'm building an application that need to get data from my web server (running windows server)
what is the best and fastest way that provides strong security to get the data from the server
I'm so confused between connecting directly to mssql server or building a web service or learning (wcf or web api) and use it for this approach.

any advice will be appreciated .

What I have tried:

I tried direct connection to mssql server but it's not that fast and obviously not that secure
also web service isn't secure.
i don't know how to build (wcf or web api) as i mentioned in my question.

If security is a concern then WCF will be your best bet.

Speed is my primary concern then security comes, I'm trying to reach the data from mobile application with a very low speed bandwidth

WCF does perform better than webservices, it's still probably the best solution for you.
