TCP (Transmission Control) has the ability to actually control the packet-flow. It guaranties that the requested data will arrive at targethost. UDP is not that reliable and i think in most cases "secure" means reliable. On the other-hand it is easier to spoof some uncontrolled packet-flow with now state-validation and all those tcp options. Have a closer look at this comparison: http://www.skullbox.net/tcpudp.php Cheers, Florian Osses
It is said that UDP is considered more vulnerable to spoofing than TCP? Can anyone point me to any document/link which describes TCP is more secure than UDP
