## Overview
The communication between the Quasar server and clients uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) with client & server certificates. TLS provides confidentiality and data integrity between the communicating components. TLS application data packets contain the exchanged messages between a client and server. The application data consists of a 2 bytes unsigned message length and a serialized message.
The communication between the Quasar server and clients uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) with client & server certificates. TLS provides confidentiality and data integrity between the communicating components. TLS application data packets contain the exchanged messages between a client and server. The application data consists of a 4 bytes unsigned message length and a serialized message. Although a message length of 4 bytes results in a maximum message length of 2³² bytes, a lower limit of 5 MB is enforced on the client and server side to prevent huge buffer allocation attacks from exhausting the resources of a client or server.
