Network Security
Domain: Security
Motivation
Protecting Hermes network communications: HTTPS for API calls, egress proxy for monitoring, website blocklist for filtering.
Concrete Example
HTTPS: all API calls encrypted. Egress proxy: traffic monitored. Website blocklist: dangerous sites blocked. Three layers of network security.
Analogy
A armored transport truck - the cargo is locked (HTTPS), the route is monitored (proxy), and dangerous neighborhoods are avoided (blocklist). Network security protects data in transit.
