Secure Communication
Secure communication refers to any method of transmitting information that protects it from being intercepted, understood, or tampered with by unauthorized parties. It ensures that only the intended recipient can access and comprehend the message's content.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Secure communication, in military and intelligence contexts, involves the employment of cryptographic techniques and secure channels to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of transmitted information, safeguarding against eavesdropping, interception, unauthorized access, and data manipulation. This critical capability underpins sensitive operations and intelligence sharing.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
