Securing TCP connections with SSL

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a cryptographic protocol that enables data transmission security over a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connection. This protocol ensures that any information transmitted between the two parties remains confidential and safe from potential attackers. SSL, and its successor Transport Layer Security (TLS), are fundamental technologies used to establish secure and encrypted ...

Address Resolution Protocol

ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol. It is a crucial communication protocol in the Internet protocol suite. It is used for discovering the data link layer address, such as a MAC (Media Access Control) address, corresponding to a given network layer address (typically IPv4). In Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) networks, the functionality of ARP ...

Application Layer Protocols in Computer Network

The application layer is primarily responsible for setting up a model to identify communication methods to allow users and hosts to interact with the software applications available on the internet. Several application layer protocols help in the efficient working of our application layer in the network model. The protocols work similarly in different network models that have ...

Linux Networking Commands

Linus Torvalds created Linux entirely from scratch. It is created as open-source software, which is inherently very strong and secure. Anyone can install Linux and modify it to create their own Linux version. These Linux versions are known as “distros” or “distributions.” The Linux kernel’s unrivaled security and reliability, combined with its open-source nature, make it one of ...

What is Supernetting?

Supernetting is the process of aggregation of multiple networks into a single network, and it is an inverse process of subnetting. CIDR Value, Network ID, Subnet Mask, Broadcast ID, and Block Size of the route ID are the information required for performing the Supernetting. Supernetting can only be performed on those networks that satisfy the three rules that are explained in this ...

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol

OSPF stands for Open Shortest Path First and it is an intradomain protocol. This protocol is used for exchanging information between the dynamic routers. OSPF protocol is based on the link state routing algorithm. OSPF is used within the autonomous system and it divides the autonomous system into different areas. Introduction OSPF Areas Refer to the ...

Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)

Digital Subscriber Line is abbreviated as DSL and provides the service of internet transmission with the help of a copper wire telecommunication line. And it maintains the speed of transferred data. Asymmetric DSL (ADSL), Consumer DSL (CDSL), DSL Lite, High-bit-rate DSL (HDSL), etc. are the types of DSL. What is DSL? A communication medium that provides the service of transferring internet using ...
