Explanation

Communications security (COMSEC) encompasses all measures taken to protect information transmitted over networks, including detecting and correcting errors, ensuring data integrity, maintaining confidentiality, and preventing unauthorized interception (eavesdropping). COMSEC includes encryption, secure protocols, authentication, and error-detection mechanisms applied specifically to data in transit. Information security is a broader term covering all aspects of protecting information (not just in transit). Server and client security refer to endpoint hardening, not specifically to protecting data as it flows across the network.
