SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Elliptic Curve Cryptography Overview

The video introduces elliptic curve cryptography, explaining its technical nature and application in TLS protocol. It covers the basic equation of elliptic curves, highlighting their symmetry and unique properties, such as the intersection of lines with the curve. The tutorial aims to provide an understanding without delving too deeply into technical details, setting the stage for further exploration in subsequent lectures.
