WebSockets Security Measures Explained
WebSockets can be secure if implemented with proper measures such as encrypted communication, authentication, and input validation.
WebSockets provide full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection, enabling real-time data exchange between clients and servers. While WebSockets offer many advantages, such as reducing network latency and improving scalability, security is a critical concern that must be addressed to prevent attacks like man-in-the-middle (MITM) or cross-site WebSocket hijacking. WebSocket Security Challenges No Built-in Encryption: Unlike HTTPS, WebSocket connections (ws://) do not inherently provide encryption. Without encryption, data transmitted over WebSockets can be intercepte...
