Secure Communication
Secure communication refers to the principles, protocols, and technologies used to protect data transmitted between parties from unauthorized access, interception, or tampering. It encompasses encryption, authentication, and integrity mechanisms to ensure confidentiality, authenticity, and non-repudiation in digital exchanges. This concept is fundamental in cybersecurity for safeguarding sensitive information in applications like web browsing, messaging, and network communications.
Developers should learn and implement secure communication to protect user data, comply with regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA), and prevent security breaches such as man-in-the-middle attacks. It is essential in use cases like e-commerce transactions, secure APIs, VPNs, and any system handling personal or financial information to build trust and ensure privacy.
