End-to-end protection is a data security mechanism designed to protect the integrity and security of data in transit and storage. This mechanism covers the entire process from data generation to final reception, ensuring that data cannot be tampered with, lost, or accessed without authorization during transmission. It usually includes the following protections:
1.Encryption technology: During data transmission and storage, data is encrypted using encryption algorithms to prevent unauthorized visitors from reading or tampering with the data.
2.Integrity check: The data is verified using a hash algorithm or other integrity verification mechanism to ensure that the data has not been tampered with during transmission. The receiver can verify the integrity of the data by comparing the check values.
3.Access control: Access to data is strictly controlled and managed, and only authorized users can access the data to prevent unauthorized visitors from accessing sensitive data.
4.Authentication: During data transmission and storage, each node involved in data processing is authenticated to ensure that data can only be accessed and processed by legitimate users.
5.Secure transfer protocols: Use secure transfer protocols (such as HTTPS, SFTP, etc.) to transmit data to prevent data from being eavesdropped or tampered with during transmission.
The implementation of end-to-end protection needs to comprehensively consider the security, integrity, and availability of data, and protect data security through multi-layered security mechanisms. This protection mechanism is becoming increasingly important in today's information security environment, especially for the protection of sensitive data and business-critical data.
