SSL Complete Guide 2021: HTTP to HTTPS - Asymmetric Keys Overview

The video tutorial discusses encryption and hashing algorithms, focusing on asymmetric keys. It explains the concept of asymmetric keys, which consist of a private and a public key, and their distinct roles. The private key is kept secret, while the public key is shared openly. The tutorial outlines two primary uses for asymmetric keys: encryption, where the public key encrypts data and the private key decrypts it, and digital signing, where the private key signs data and the public key verifies the signature. The video concludes with a brief mention of the next lecture's focus on encryption using asymmetric keys.
