I have been tasked to research on the possible security models that could be used in a smart client application for an application which we are developing. We are not talking about any implementation or low-level architecture right now, but we do want a conceptual view of the model.

The whole situation can be described as follows:
1. There is a winforms application (going to be developed) that would have authentication built in (No windows authentication)
2. Being a smart client application, it calls certain web services residing on the server.
3. In many cases, server will be in intranet. However, since our company provides hosted solutions, so there would be many cases where these web services are accessed over the internet. Same may be the case with reporting services which could be hosted either on a intranet server ...
