Basic - Secure Communication

These protocols should archive the following:

• Confidentially Only the endpoints can read the data
• Integrity The endpoint detect if the data has been modified
• Authenticity The endpoints notice if the other isn't genuine

Further goals can optionally be non-repudiation (an endpoint cannot deny having receive or sent data) and anonymity (the endpoints cannot identify them self).

Secure protocols don't help against all attacks:

• Software vulnerabilities (like SQL injection or buffer overflows)
• Malware
• DDoS Attack
