Description: TCP/IP security refers to the measures implemented to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data transmitted over networks using the TCP/IP protocol suite. This protocol suite is fundamental for communication on the Internet and private networks, and its security is crucial to prevent unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and data loss. Security techniques in TCP/IP include the use of encryption, authentication, access control, and firewalls, which help protect data in transit and ensure that only authorized users can access information. Additionally, TCP/IP security encompasses the implementation of specific protocols such as IPsec, which provides authentication and encryption at the network level, and SSL/TLS, which secures connections in various applications, including web applications. The growing reliance on TCP/IP networks in everyday life and business has made security in this context a priority, as vulnerabilities can have serious consequences, such as the theft of sensitive data or the disruption of critical services.
