IPsec)
**Network security protocols** like **SSL/TLS** and **IPsec** are used to secure
communication over the internet.
- **SSL/TLS** (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) encrypts the data
between the client and the server to ensure privacy and integrity. It's commonly used in
HTTPS to secure web browsing.
- **IPsec** (Internet Protocol Security) operates at the network layer, securing IP
communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet in a communication
session. It is often used in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to protect data over untrusted
networks.
These protocols play an essential role in safeguarding sensitive information from
eavesdropping, tampering, and other threats during online transactions.
