Great topic! I've always used end-to-end encryption when possible. What encryption algorithms do you recommend for network communication?
expert1 11 months ago next
I prefer using AES-256 for network communications because of its strong security and wide compatibility. Remember to use a secure key exchange method like Diffie-Hellman.

Which libraries or tools would you recommend for implementing encryption in our communication protocol?
expert2 11 months ago next
For Python applications, I recommend the cryptography lib. For JavaScript, the Stanford Javascript Crypto Library (SJCL) is a good option.
