Description: Protocol security in the context of communication networks refers to the measures implemented to protect the communication protocols used in these networks. These protocols are essential for data transmission, connection management, and interaction between devices. Protocol security involves the implementation of encryption techniques, authentication, and access control, aimed at preventing attacks such as data interception, unauthorized access, and information manipulation. In an environment where connectivity is massive and millions of devices are expected to be interconnected, protocol security becomes a fundamental pillar to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of information. Additionally, protocol security must adapt to emerging threats, such as denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and vulnerabilities in network infrastructure. Therefore, it is crucial for developers and network operators to implement robust and updated security standards, ensuring that protocols are resilient against potential attacks and that user privacy is protected at all times.
