security protocol

Digital protection rules

A security protocol is a set of rules and procedures designed to protect data, communications, or systems from unauthorized access or tampering.

These protocols specify how information should be encrypted, authenticated, and transmitted safely between parties.

Common examples include HTTPS for secure web browsing, SSL/TLS for encrypted connections, and authentication protocols that verify identity before granting access.

The company updated its security protocols after the data breach.
