Encryption
One of the primary mechanisms used by communication protocols to enhance security is encryption. By encrypting data before transmission, protocols ensure that data is protected from unauthorized access or eavesdropping. Encryption algorithms such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) are commonly used to secure data transmission over communication channels.
How can Communication Protocols Enhance System Security?
Communication protocols are not only essential for enabling effective data exchange between devices and systems but also play a crucial role in enhancing system security. Communication protocols contribute significantly to achieving these security goals by providing mechanisms for secure data transmission, authentication, and protection against various types of attacks.
Communication protocols enhance system security in several key ways:
