How HTTPS Makes Internet Traffic 99% Secure

Every time you send an HTTPS request online, you rely on clever protocols like TLS to ensure your private data is encrypted. But few internet users understand how this works, putting their faith in a simple padlock icon before submitting their credit card details.

In this video, you'll learn how applications use public & private key encryption to secure traffic across an internet that wasn't designed with security in mind. You'll see how certificates provide an essential defence against imposters trying to steal your data, as well as some of the not-so-well-known flaws of the system.
