If we are talking about exchanging data between different applications or between an application and a human, the issue of data correctness arises. Usually, for modern computers, data is formed as bitstreams. To improve bitstream correctness we can apply validation or cybersecurity.
- Do we know any more options?
- What is the difference between validation and cybersecurity?
In this context, we must describe the difference between validation and cybersecurity. Both can be applied to improve bitstream correctness. My point is that
- validation ensures the bitstream is correct, functional, and compliant with appropriate domain-specific language
- cybersecurity protects the bitstream from threats caused by malicious users
Both processes are essential for the reliable and secure operation of digital systems, but they focus on different aspects of bitstream management. Validation ensures the bitstream works as intended, while cybersecurity ensures it remains secure from potential threats by applying cryptography measures.

To validate the bitstream we may check the syntax and semantics rules of a domain-specific language the bitstream is compliant with. The strength of the mentioned measures related to validation may be insufficient to meet the requirements related to the bitstream robustness. Hence, we must consider the cybersecurity of bitstreams, which focuses on protecting the bitstream from malicious attacks and ensuring its security throughout its lifecycle by protecting bitstreams from unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity, confidentiality, and authenticity.
Cryptography is a fundamental component of cybersecurity and plays a crucial role in implementation of the cybersecurity.
