Secure Channel Protocol

Secure Channel Protocol is a method used to create a protected communication link between two parties, ensuring that any data exchanged remains private and unaltered. It involves establishing a secure connection through encryption, which converts information into a code that only the intended recipient can decode. This process also includes mutual authentication, confirming both parties are legitimate. Secure Channel Protocol is commonly used in smart cards and payment systems to safeguard sensitive information like passwords, financial data, or personal details from eavesdropping, tampering, or fraud during transmission.
