The neurotransmitter, the impulse cannot be transmitted directly from the pre-synaptic neuron (sender) to the post-synaptic neuron ( receiver). Therefore a neurotransmitter is required to carry the message between these two, thus acting as a bridge.

Technically nothing. The extracellular medium that fills the synapse is mostly water with sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium ions in it (along with a bunch of other stuff).

How does non-repudiation ensure users cannot deny sending and or receiving data?

You can't deny receiving or not receiving a message with non-repudiation; it only has to do with who the sender of the message was. Because there is a mathematical relationship between public and private keys, if a sender uses their private key to send a message and the receiver uses the sender's public key to read it, then non-repudiation says that the sender had to have sent that message, and no one else (because no one else has the key pair).


What is the space between the sending and the receiving neuron called?

It can as long as you cancel it while it's sending. After it's sent, then it's impossible to stop it from getting to the person receiving it.
