Https Flow made easy

• HTTPS = HTTP + SSL
• Cryptography = Science of hiding information
• Cipher text= Message represented in secret code.
• Encryption= Process of transformation of plain text to cipher text (or encrypted text).
• Decryption= Process of transformation of cipher text (or encrypted text) to plain text.
• Cipher= Algorithm used for encryption and decryption is called Cipher algorithm.
• Symmetric key algorithm= Cipher using same key for Encryption and Decryption.
• Asymmetric key algorithm= Cipher using different key for Encryption and Decryption. Key used for encryption is called public key and key used for decryption is called private key
• Computation logic using Symmetric is lighter than Asymmetric key i.e Asymmetric is costlier than Symmetric key.
