    An important point that's worth mentioning, otherwise the server-hello phase would be insecure, the client and server both have a trusted authority they could rely on for authenticating each other. The client verifies the server's SSL certificate with the certificate authority that issued it. This confirms that the server is who it says it is, and that the client is interacting with the actual owner of the domain.

    Yes because a certificate authority verified a domain owner and signed its data with its private key, that signature is included in the certificate , and the public key of known certificate authorities are stored in the browser

    The client has a list of CA certs that it trusts, so it will accept any server cert that is signed by one of them. TLS can also be used for two-way authentication. Also for secure communication between different parts of your own organization, you can create your own CA cert and install that at the endpoints so they can trust each other.

    The session key isn't directly swapped between the client and server, even with asymmetric encryption. Instead, they exchange a random string of bytes, often referred to as a 'pre-master secret' or 'nonce', which serves as the basis for generating the session key on both ends using the algorithms previously agreed upon in the cipher suite exchange.

    Along with the top comment here, I think it is helpful to understand that step #2 Certificate Check involves the client cross referencing that the DNS name they resolved matches the hostname presented on the server's certificate. Otherwise, the TLS handshake will (appropriately) fail because even though the server certifcate may be valid and trusted, the server presenting it is not truly associated with it.

  • @zixuanzhao6043
    @zixuanzhao6043Ай бұрын

    DH alone is prone to man-in-the middle attack. So the certification verification is vitally important which the video doesn't cover much. Basically the server send a signature which is some private-key encrypted digestion of server identity information. The client then verify the public key through chain-of-trust by layers of authorities that issue certifications (system root authority is trusted unconditionally unless your local system is messed up). Using the verified public key the client decrypt the signature and compare the result to the digest generated through the negotiated digest/hash algorithm. If everything checks out, the server identity is trusted because only the private key owner is able to generate that signature.

    Public keys were trapped sometimes and that's why no public keys travel. Mostly by NAT re-config. SSL means a set of algorithms accepted between with certificate means that the binary coded files used for decryption. Key means algorithm. Why public and private keys means that public used for encryption of the algorithm of choice and private is end to end algorithm transfer and use. About a thousand algorithm exchanges for a single transaction. So don't try.

    SSL, TLS, and HTTPS are all cryptographic protocols used to ensure secure communication over the internet. They play a crucial role in protecting sensitive data transmitted between a client (such as a web browser) and a server. Let's explain each of these terms: SSL (Secure Sockets Layer): SSL is an older cryptographic protocol that was initially developed by Netscape in the 1990s. It was widely used to provide secure communication over the internet, especially for websites handling sensitive information like login credentials or credit card details. However, due to security vulnerabilities and weaknesses found in SSL, it has been largely deprecated and replaced by its successor, TLS. TLS (Transport Layer Security): TLS is the successor to SSL and was introduced as a more secure and robust cryptographic protocol. It operates at the transport layer of the internet communication stack and ensures secure data transmission between a client and a server. TLS uses a combination of symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms to establish a secure connection. The latest version of TLS at the time of writing is TLS 1.3, which has further improved security and performance over previous versions. HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure): HTTPS is not a separate protocol but rather a combination of HTTP and TLS (or SSL in older implementations). It is the secure version of the standard HTTP protocol used for transmitting data between a client's web browser and a web server. When a website uses HTTPS, it means that the data exchanged between the client and the server is encrypted using TLS or SSL, ensuring that it cannot be intercepted or tampered with by unauthorized parties. When a user connects to an HTTPS-enabled website, the following steps occur: The client (web browser) sends a request to the server, indicating that it wants to establish a secure connection using HTTPS. The server responds with its SSL/TLS certificate, which contains the server's public key and other details. The client verifies the authenticity of the certificate by checking its validity and whether it is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). If the certificate is valid, the client and the server perform a handshake to negotiate the encryption algorithm and establish a secure connection. Once the secure connection is established, all data transmitted between the client and the server is encrypted and secure from eavesdropping or tampering. In summary, SSL and TLS are cryptographic protocols used for secure communication, with TLS being the more modern and secure version. HTTPS is the combination of HTTP and TLS (or SSL) and is used to ensure secure data transmission over the internet, especially for sensitive information. Enabling HTTPS on websites is crucial for protecting user data and ensuring a safe browsing experience.

I doubt they need the internals of how HTTPS SSL TLS work. Web developers just need to understand 1. Libraries that enable http requests and responses - client side and server side. 2. What are the steps in getting a certificate 3. what sort of attack are prevented through this kind of encryption 4. what are the libraries objects methods that enable https on both client side and server side 5. what are the steps relevant to setting up https tls and ssl on self hosted and cloud hosted servers
