Thanks to Saed for creating this list from his security interview experience. I hope it helps someone out here.
Ever wondered how HTTPS actually keeps your data safe?
Here’s what happens behind the scenes every time you visit a secure website
1️⃣ TCP Handshake – Your device and the server agree to communicate.
2️⃣ Certificate Check – The server proves its identity with a trusted certificate.
3️⃣ Key Exchange – Using asymmetric encryption, both sides create a secure session key.
4️⃣ Data Transmission – The connection switches to symmetric encryption for faster, private communication.
In short:
Asymmetric = secure key exchange
Symmetric = fast data encryption
