Sockets are vital endpoints for communication in computer networking. They facilitate data exchange between devices and abstract the complexities of network communication, allowing applications on different computers to communicate. Sockets are an essential component of network programming, enabling the developm...
Circuit-Switched WAN: In a circuit-switched network, a dedicated communication path is established between two endpoints for the duration of the communication session. This path remains dedicated to the specific session, even without data transmission. Traditional telephone networks are an example of ci...
What is a VPN? A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your traffic online, making it virtually anonymous. Find out about VPN in depth here - how it works and why you need it.
In Node, you have excellent support for WebSockets via such libraries as socket.io, ws, or websocket-node, thanks to which you can easily deploy efficient real-time chats and applications. With socket.io, for example, all you have to do to create a basic live chat is to install the so...
For example, Winsock and Berkeley sockets between layers 4 and 5; NDIS and ODI between layers 2 and 3. The protocols for data communication cover all areas, as defined in the OSI model. However, the OSI model is only loosely defined. A protocol may perform the functions of one or more ...
protocols also specify how the network protects data from any unauthorized efforts to inspect or extract it. This ensures that unauthorized users, services or devices don't have access to the network. Protocols such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),Secure FTPand HTTP Secure (HTTPS) operate at ...
This library implements the proposed model using javascript and Websockets. It does so asexplicit as possible,neglectingmost of theperformanceconcerns. It serves both as anexperimental implementationand adidactic toolto better understand the model. An interesting place to look at to learn or experiment...
While it’s less common these days, information is sometimes stored and shared on physical devices such as hard drives or USB drives. Ensuring these physical devices have proper cybersecurity procedures implemented in their distribution will help keep the information on them out of the hands of ha...
SSL/TLS(Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) Types of Proxy Servers Different types of proxy servers provide specific functions with varying levels of performance and configuration options. Types of proxy servers include: Anonymous Proxy ...
6. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN Encryption Unlike other traditional VPN protocols used in particular VPN software, Secure Sockets Layer SSL VPN encryption is used for web browsers. It is also used in browser extensions, which don’t require any specific app to install and set up. ...
