SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Delivering Encryption Key Using Diffie Hellman Key Exchange

The video tutorial explains the use of the Diffie Hellman key exchange algorithm in TLS. It begins with an overview of the negotiation process between a web browser and a web server, focusing on the selection of encryption methods. The tutorial details the certificate verification process and the generation of symmetric keys using the Diffie Hellman algorithm. It highlights the algorithm's design for secure key generation over public networks and discusses its vulnerability to man-in-the-middle attacks. The video concludes with a promise to explore the modified Diffie Hellman algorithm used in TLS and solutions to security vulnerabilities in the next lecture.

Describe the process that occurs after the Web server sends an SSL TLS certificate to the Web browser.

What is the purpose of the Diffie Hellman Key exchange algorithm in TLS?

Explain how symmetric keys are generated on both the Web browser and Web server sides.

What are the potential vulnerabilities associated with the Diffie Hellman algorithm?

How does the TLS session setup address the man-in-the-middle attack?
