VoIP and WebRTC: Real-Time Communication Real-time communication keeps teams connected, customers served, and classrooms engaging. VoIP, or voice over IP, is the umbrella term for calls over the internet. WebRTC brings audio, video, and data directly inside web browsers. They share goals but fit different workflows.

Signaling protocols like SIP or proprietary options handle user registration and call setup. Media travels as RTP packets over the network. Common codecs such as Opus for audio and VP8 for video balance quality and bandwidth. Jitter, latency, and packet loss are real concerns, so devices use buffers and adaptive codecs to keep conversations clear. ...

Information Security Principles for a Safer Web The web is safer when we follow a few clear information security principles. These ideas are practical, easy to apply, and work across devices and services. Least privilege and defense in depth. Give people access only to what they truly need. Use separate admin and user accounts. Add layers of protection so a single failure does not expose data. Secure by default. Start with strong settings and automated updates. Turn off unused features, enable encryption for sensitive data, and rely on trusted transport like HTTPS. Small defaults can prevent big problems. ...

Think in layers: protect data in transit, guard data stored in the browser, and control what content the page can load and execute. Each layer reduces risk and helps users stay safe. ...
