The video tutorial explains how encryption keys are delivered in TLS without using the Diffie-Hellman algorithm. It describes the process where a web browser generates a random key, encrypts it using the web server's public key, and sends it to the server. The server decrypts it with its private key, allowing both parties to share the same encryption key. The tutorial highlights the drawbacks of this method, such as the risk of static key pairs being compromised, and advises against using this approach for key delivery. The video concludes with a preview of the next lecture on the Diffie-Hellman algorithm.
