Tech Differences

Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are protocols designed to provide the security between the web server and web browser. However, there are minor differences between SSL and TLS, SSL is the foremost approach to serve the purpose and also it is supported by all browsers whereas TLS is the follow-on internet standard with some enhanced security and privacy features.

The main purpose of VPN and Proxy is to provide a connection between the host computer and the remote computer by hiding host computer's IP to make it secure against intruders. The basic difference between VPN and Proxy is that a Proxy server allows to hide, conceal and make your network id anonymous by hiding your IP address. It provides features like Firewall and network data filtering, network connection sharing and Data caching. This first became popular where some countries tried to … [Read more...]

To carry sensitive information, a system need be able to assure secrecy and privacy. A system cannot prevent unauthorized access to transmission media absolutely. Data tampering (an act of deliberately modifying the data through an unauthorised channel) is not a new issue, nor it is unique to computer era. Altering the information could possibly protect it from unauthorised access, and as a result, the only authorised receiver can understand it. The method used in such a way is called … [Read more...]

DTE (Data terminating equipment) and DCE (Data circuit terminating equipment) both terms are frequently used in Data communication and networking; these terms can be considered as the type of serial communication devices where basic WAN connectivity between subscriber and provider relies on. The basic difference between DTE and DCE is that DCE is usually located at the service provider whereas DTE is the attached device. Content: DTE Vs DCE Comparison Chart Definition Key … [Read more...]

The basic difference between Bridge and Router is that Bridge is a network device mainly operating at the data link layer of the OSI model with filtering and forwarding capabilities. While Router is an internetworking device operating at the network layer of the OSI model. A router is attached to the two or more networks and forwards packets from one network to another.

Telnet and SSH are the general purpose client server application program and uses remote terminal service which allows a user at one site to interact with a remote time-sharing system at another site as if the user's keyboard and a display connected directly to the remote machine. The main difference between Telnet and SSH is that the Telnet is conventional protocol whereas SSH is the replacement for Telnet protocol and also SSH have enhanced features. Content: Telnet Vs SSH Comparison … [Read more...]

UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) and STP (Shielded twisted pair) are the types of twisted pair cables which act as a transmission medium and imparts reliable connectivity of electronic equipment. Although the design and manufacture are different but both serve the same purpose. The basic difference between UTP and STP is UTP (Unshielded twisted pair) is a cable with wires that are twisted together to reduce noise and crosstalk. On the contrary, STP (Shielded twisted pair) is a twisted pair cable … [Read more...]

In this article, we are going to discuss about two terms frequently used in networking as a unit of data i.e, frame and packet. The crucial difference between frame and packet is that frame is the serial collection of bits, and it encapsulates packets whereas packets are the fragmented form of data and it encapsulates segment. Data link layer performs framing process. On the other hand, Network layer performs fragmentation of the data and create smaller chunks known as packets. Another major … [Read more...]
