SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Encryption Using Asymmetric Keys

The video tutorial explains the concept of asymmetric keys, which consist of a private and a public key. It details how data encryption and decryption work using these keys, emphasizing that the public key is available to anyone, while the private key is kept secret by the owner. The tutorial compares this process to sending an email, where anyone can send a message, but only the recipient can read it. The video concludes by hinting at the next topic, which is using asymmetric keys for data signing.

What are the two types of keys in asymmetric encryption?

• Open and Closed

• Shared and Secret

• Symmetric and Asymmetric

• Public and Private

Who can access the private key in asymmetric encryption?

• Anyone with the public key

• Only the owner

• Anyone can read the email

• Only the sender can access the mailbox

• Anyone can send an email, but only the owner can access the mailbox

• The email is encrypted with a private key

What is the next topic to be discussed after encryption and decryption?

• Signing data with asymmetric keys

• Data compression

• Public key distribution

• Symmetric key encryption
