You can read the RFC for this, but I think that the point is not
security,. TCP is conection based and UDP is conectionless


When you initiate a TCP transfer after every packet that is sent ans
acknowledge one is needed from the receiver, with UDP this is nos
necessary, that is the difference between this protocols.
