In this video, I break down one of the most important pillars of secure system design — Encryption — with clear explanations and real-world examples.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
🔹 Encoding vs Encryption vs Hashing
▪ What’s the difference and when to use each
🔹 Types of Encryption:
▪ Symmetric encryption
▪ Asymmetric encryption
🔒 Levels of Encryption:
▪ In-transit (TLS, HTTPS)
▪ At-rest (database/file encryption)
▪ At application-level (end-to-end encryption)
📁 Files & Certificates:
▪ What are .pem, .cer, .crt, .key files
▪ Role of Certificate Authorities (CAs)
▪ How certificates help in verifying identity and securing communication
Whether you're securing an API, storing sensitive user data, or building a distributed system — encryption plays a vital role.
