Integrity Checking
Communication protocols can also include mechanisms for ensuring data integrity. By using checksums, hash functions, or digital signatures, protocols can detect and prevent data tampering or modification during transmission.
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:
