Secure Peer-to-Peer Communication
Securing peer-to-peer (P2P) communication requires robust encryption, authentication, and trust mechanisms.
Below are key best practices:
- End-to-End Encryption: Ensure all data exchanged between peers is encrypted, using protocols like TLS or custom end-to-end encryption schemes.
- Mutual Authentication: Implement strong authentication using OAuth, JWT, or cryptographic handshakes to verify both peers.
- Secure Transport Layers: Use secure transports such as WebSockets or Bluetooth LE with encrypted channels to prevent eavesdropping.
- Key Management: Regularly rotate encryption keys to prevent compromise over time.
