SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Diffie Hellman Algorithm

The video tutorial explains the Diffie-Hellman key exchange, a method for securely exchanging cryptographic keys over an insecure channel. It details the use of modulus operation as a one-way function, the generation of private and public keys, and the calculation of a shared key by both parties, Alice and Bob. The security of the method is discussed, emphasizing that third parties cannot derive the private keys. Practical considerations for using large numbers in computations are also covered. The tutorial concludes with a brief introduction to elliptic curve cryptography.
