SSL/TLS Explained in 7 Minutes

In this 7-minute video, we dive into the world of SSL and TLS to demystify these important security protocols. Whether you're a website owner, developer, or just curious about online security, this video has got you covered!

🔐 SSL and TLS: What Are They?
We start by explaining what SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are. These protocols provide secure communication between a user's web browser and a website's server. They encrypt data transmitted over the internet, ensuring that sensitive information like passwords, credit card details, and personal data remain protected from prying eyes.

We also explore when a site owner should consider implementing SSL/TLS. Essentially, if your website collects any form of sensitive data or requires user login functionality, using SSL/TLS is highly recommended. By enabling these protocols, you establish a secure connection, instilling trust in your visitors and safeguarding their information.

We also shed light on the distinction between paid and free versions of SSL/TLS certificates. Free certificates, such as Let's Encrypt, offer basic encryption and are suitable for most websites. They are issued for a shorter duration and need to be renewed periodically. On the other hand, paid certificates provide additional features like extended validation (EV), which displays the organization's name in the browser's address bar, enhancing credibility. They typically offer longer validity periods and may include insurance against potential security breaches.

So in this case a digital certificate instead of a pre-shared key is used for authenication, right?

You should use SSL (TLS) all the time. Without it you run the risk of someone adding their own files, images, or whatever they want to send to your site without your knowledge. If you don't use it you might get google saying that your site has a virus or (worst) some law enforcement entity wanting to charge you with kitty porn.

You know the switching in and out (zoom-in - Zoom-out) is really irritating and distracting. Otherwise a really helpful and informative video. Thanks
