My friend, I've heard many people tried to explain this, some with many years in the tech industry, but you do it so clearly that you put other explanations to shame. Thanks for this video!!

[@PracticalNetworking]

You're very welcome, friend. Glad you enjoyed this.

[@drakezen]

Easily one of the best explanations between the two types of encryption. Well done!

[@PracticalNetworking]

Thank you kindly, glad you enjoyed it!

[@solowolf5304]

@@PracticalNetworking I didn't understand the fact that private key is required to decrypt the cipher text, if that is the case then why don't u need to share this private key to the receiver ? How will a receiver decrypt the cypher text without having a private key ?

[@PracticalNetworking]

@@solowolf5304 Private Keys only exist in Asymmetric Encryption -- which features _two_ keys, a Private Key, and a Public Key. With Symmetric Encryption, there is only 1 key, and you could consider it also "Private". Try this video, see if it helps make sense of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lavcfKmGq81rZpo

The way you explained symmetric vs asymmetric encryption was simply magnificent in it's simplicity and effectiveness. Bravo!

[@santoshkumar-dr4qg]

Excellent explanation - I have been trying to learn SSL/TLS for the last few years but am unable to grab a basic understanding. A couple of points I would like to highlight that were observed while going through the content. > Just enough talk ( not too short or too long videos) > Each video is mostly equivalence of reading several pages of the textbooks/articles/blogs > Simple demonstrations that can be easily followed. > Animations used to lay down the foundation/concepts are very effective. > Use of simple English that can be understood by non-spoken English people like me. > Along with SSL/TLS, Basic networking concepts are also very effective for people who want to learn how networking works. > Last but not the least, author/speaker/teacher also explains international events (like Facebook outage) as an example to let other people understand the concept behind the scene. > Even though few videos are long enough but they are very engaging, you will never feel bore. So thank you once again for distributing clear and concise knowledge. God bless you.

[@PracticalNetworking]

Thanks for the thorough feedback and the kind words, Santosh. That is kind of you to say! You're very welcome, I'm so happy you've found a lot of value from this channel =)

Thank you for supporting this channel, Runner. Much appreciated =)

[@worop]

This is the best explanation of this concept I’ve seen to date. Great stuff! Thanks! The other videos in this playlist are equally helpful!

[@Spellzzzweaver]

The cypher forwards backwards is a genius way of showing asymmetric.

[@PracticalNetworking]

Thank you =)

[@Franco-ss4bu]

your example using the alphabet is perfect. Finally understood it. Extremely well explained

[@scottspa74]

I NEEDED this video so bad. In college, cybersecurity fundamentals 274, my instructor (highly regarded, consults DHS, etc) could not seem to get it thru to me, or I just couldn't get it. Sooo looking forward to this video. Thank you!

You're in for a treat next week then =). And the weeks that follow! Lot's of good stuff coming out.

Man, this is BEAUTIFUL! I don't say this very often, but your explanations really are that!!! You've probably given us an insight into the minds of those people who have invented these concepts or work with them on a regular basis: I imagine that they have this clear understanding of the concepts! Bravo!

[@PracticalNetworking]

Glad this helped you =)

[@ragemoody]

This is the third video of yours I've watched today and I'm super impressed by how good your explanations of all these topics are. So many people struggle explaining these concepts but you make it sound very easy. Again, I'm super impressed. I will make sure to share your channel whenever I can, thank you for your work!!

[@sunyatalove]

Very good explanation . Am working with symmetric and asymmetric encryption libraries in telecoms systems without knowing the internals. This video gives a really clear explanation

[@vishalrugle538]

The way you explain the concept is highly appreciated. I am commenting on this after going through your courses NAT, NAT on ASA, NAT on IOS ,CCNA Basic videos on KZbin and the one-course INE. Really looking for BGP, Security and F5-related courses from you in the future. I request other audiences to please share and encourage Ed Harmoush so that we will get quality content on a different topic. Thanks a lot Ed.

[@PracticalNetworking]

Thank you for the kind words, Vishal, and for all your support =). I hope the TLS course will free me up to put all my effort into course creation!

[@scottspa74]

Super excited for the next video you teased, getting more into public and private, and asymmetric. My understanding is that the primary function of asymmetric keys is to securely share the symmetric key - bit I could certainly have misunderstood (in class). And, that the private key facilitates authentication, in that, since only the sender (encryptor) of a message has their own private key to decrypt said message, that proves it was sent from their machine and that they encrypted it. I don't know if I'm right about all this. I'm sooo hoping you can touch on this in the follow up video. Thanks for the great content.

[@PracticalNetworking]

We'll be touching on all this in the next two videos, actually. But yes, you're on the right track =)

Hello, diffie-Hellman is not a asymmetric ecrypition algorithm. It is a key exchange algoritm. Paul

[@jonathannagy786]

At 8:07, the data is encrypted with the public key to be later decrypted with the private key. What is it that prevents someone from decrypting it with the public key?

[@PracticalNetworking]

Answered around 6:00~ -- the math features trap door algorithms which can only go one way. Knowing the public key does not let you decrypt the content back into clear text.

[@GurkanALTAY]

How can we have 'h' in the cipher "khoor" when we shift forward the letters in the word hello by 3 positions for symmetric encryption? Shouldn't the result be "knqqt"?

[@PracticalNetworking]

Hrmm... how are you getting N / Q / T for the letters E / L / O? By my calculation, shifting 3 from E / L / O gets H / O / R

[@duggy2114]

@@PracticalNetworking Thanks! I misunderstood because I thought my current position will be used as a point of reference instead of the letters in the message.

Absolutely superb

[@basmamjouel2893]

i didn't quite undertsand why not move backwards with the asymetric encryption.

[@PracticalNetworking]

Asymmetric Math uses trap door functions that can only be done in one direction. Actually, when I talked about TLS with David Bombal, I provided an example of the "can't go backwards" with Asymmetric encryption. The exact portion starts around the 12 minute mark in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGbCl6emf5Jlg6c

Hi! I have something to ask, if the Symmetric Encryption called Caesar Cipher can I know what method called for Asymmetric Encryption?

[@danielaloycedaniel]

I don't understand the one that uses different decryption and encryption key

[@yadgayan]

what if user use asymmetric encrypt key to decrypt pkt? or we cnt decrypt with with encrypt key?

[@PracticalNetworking]

The key itself is completely different. You won't be able to decrypt with an asymmetric key something that was encrypted with a symmetric key.

Still unclear. Why an attacker couldn't take the public key (5) and decrypt the "hello" going back and not forward, ignoring the asymmetric decryption algorithm?
