The Essence of Cryptographic Protocols 🛡️
Cryptographic protocols are fundamental to ensuring secure communication in the digital world. These protocols define rules and data formats to secure infrastructure for online activities.
Key Protocols
- SSL/TLS: Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security, the backbone of secure communication over networks.
- SSH: Secure Shell, a protocol to operate network services securely over unsecured networks.
- IPsec: Internet Protocol Security, a suite of protocols to secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet.
Why They Matter 🔐
Without cryptographic protocols, the integrity and confidentiality of data during transfers and transactions would be compromised. Imagine a world where private messages, bank transactions, and confidential data are exposed!
