Security Mechanisms

  • Transport Layer Security (TLS) can be used to protect the communication channel from eavesdropping or man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Message-Level Security can be used (although currently it is much slower than TLS).

Famous quotes containing the word security:

    “I feel a sincere wish indeed to see our government brought back to it’s republican principles, to see that kind of government firmly fixed, to which my whole life has been devoted. I hope we shall now see it so established, as that when I retire, it may be under full security that we are to continue free and happy.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
