Secure communications is a research area that focuses on ensuring that communications between parties are protected from unauthorized access, interception, or tampering. This involves developing protocols, algorithms, and technologies that can encrypt data, authenticate users, and ensure the integrity and confidentiality of messages exchanged over networks. Secure communications are essential for safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring privacy in various fields such as cybersecurity, defense, finance, healthcare, and government. Some common techniques used in secure communications include encryption, digital signatures, secure sockets layer (SSL), and virtual private networks (VPN).
