Secure coding is the practice of developing computer software in such a way that guards against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities. Defects, bugs and logic flaws are consistently the primary cause of commonly exploited software vulnerabilities. [1] Through the analysis of thousands of reported vulnerabilities, security ...
In computer networking, tcpcrypt is a transport layer communication encryption protocol. [1] [2] Unlike prior protocols like TLS (SSL), tcpcrypt is implemented as a TCP extension. It was designed by a team of six security and networking experts: Andrea Bittau, Mike Hamburg, Mark Handley, David Mazières, Dan Boneh and Quinn Slack. [3]
Login. In computer security, logging in (or logging on, signing in, or signing on) is the process by which an individual gains access to a computer system or program by identifying and authenticating themselves. The user credentials are typically some form of a username and a password, [1] and these credentials themselves are sometimes referred ...
Datagram Transport Layer Security ( DTLS) is a communications protocol providing security to datagram -based applications by allowing them to communicate in a way designed [1] [2] [3] to prevent eavesdropping, tampering, or message forgery. The DTLS protocol is based on the stream -oriented Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol and is ...
Tailscale Inc. is a software company based in Toronto, Canada. Tailscale develops a partially open-source software-defined mesh virtual private network (VPN) and a web-based management service. [a] [1] [2] The company provides a zero config VPN as a service under the same name. [3] [better source needed]
Secure communication. Secure communication is when two entities are communicating and do not want a third party to listen in. For this to be the case, the entities need to communicate in a way that is unsusceptible to eavesdropping or interception. [1] [2] Secure communication includes means by which people can share information with varying ...
A secure cryptoprocessor is a dedicated computer-on-a-chip or microprocessor for carrying out cryptographic operations, embedded in a packaging with multiple physical security measures, which give it a degree of tamper resistance. Unlike cryptographic processors that output decrypted data onto a bus in a secure environment, a secure ...
WireGuard is a communication protocol and free and open-source software that implements encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs), and was designed with the goals of ease of use, high speed performance, and low attack surface.
