Protocols Portal
Digital standards that structure modern communication—open, closed, and everything in between
About This Portal

This section explores the fundamental protocols powering internet, messaging, and device communication. From open standards like HTTP and XMPP to proprietary giants like WhatsApp and Discord’s protocols, we document their structure, quirks, and implications on privacy and interoperability.

Did You Know?
  • Discord uses a heavily modified version of the WebSocket protocol.
  • XMPP is still used in many secure communication apps today.
  • Many apps fall back to HTTP for convenience, not security.
