Introduction to Secure Communication Protocol

With the advent of remote and wireless computing and the adoption of the Internet as an
open network, there is an increasing trend towards a spur-of-the-moment connectivity where dynamic configuration becomes the standard manner of operation. Communication in these applications will involve remote, possibly unfamiliar participants with whom a conversation can be trusted only with the use of a secure communication protocols.

This covers the principles of a secure protocol such that the purpose and value of the protocol can be understood and utilized to provide the appropriate safeguards. The material contains various sub topics that helps in elaborating the technicalities involves in the designing of a secure system.
Examples of how the different aspects of the secure protocol can be implemented are cited. The remainder will cover some of the unique issues associated with implementing and maintaining a secure communication protocol.
