SBP (Secure Browsing Protocol) is a protocol developed by the Emercoin Foundation in order to improve online security. The protocol is designed to protect users from malicious actors, such as hackers and phishers, who try to gain unauthorized access to user information or steal sensitive data.
The main feature of SBP is that it allows for secure browsing between two parties without requiring either party’s browser software to be fully updated with the latest patches and security updates. This means that even if one computer has an outdated version of a web browser, it can still securely exchange data with another computer using newer versions of browsers.
In addition to providing extra protection against malicious entities, SBP also helps reduce bandwidth usage by compressing traffic before sending it over the network. This reduces latency and makes browsing faster overall.
To use SBP, both parties must first install the appropriate plugin or add-on into their web browsers: Firefox users can install Emercoin’s Secure Browser Plugin; Chrome users should use Emercoin’s Secure Browser Extension; and Internet Explorer/Edge users will need Emercoin’s Edge Security Add-on installed on their computers. Once these have been installed, both parties can begin exchanging data via SBP through encrypted connections established between their respective browsers.
SBP provides advantages for both individuals looking for added online privacy as well as organizations who want increased security measures in place when transmitting confidential data across networks. By utilizing this technology, users can feel confident knowing that their communication is safe from prying eyes while businesses are assured that any sensitive documents they are sharing remain protected from external threats.
