Secure Data Transmission Analysis

This project aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of common security and encryption protocols, with a focus on Transport Layer Security (TLS). The goal is to equip learners with the ability to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of these protocols in real-world applications. Participants will conduct a market analysis to understand the prevalence and adoption of TLS, investigate the data overhead associated with encryption, and assess the economic implications and maintenance requirements of using such protocols. Additionally, learners will explore the benefits and pitfalls of TLS, and create a high-level diagram illustrating the secure data flow from an application to a server. Finally, the project will guide learners through the steps required to achieve NIST certification for encryption protocols, providing a practical understanding of industry standards.
