Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)
Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a set of protocols that helps protect data sent over the internet by encrypting it, ensuring only authorized parties can read it. It also authenticates the communicating devices, confirming they are who they claim to be. IPSec can be used to securely connect remote offices or users to a private network over public networks, creating a safe "tunnel" for the data. In short, IPSec maintains confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of internet communications, making online exchanges more secure against eavesdropping and tampering.
