@krishnachaytanya: HTTPS explained: why a snoop on your wifi gets nothing. On public wifi, anyone else on the network copies everything you send. Over HTTP that means your password arrives intact and they can just read it. HTTPS does not hide your data from them. Your browser and the site each add a private half to build the same secret key, and that key never crosses the wire. Every message then leaves in pieces. The snoop still catches every single piece. He just has no way to put them back. That is 2^256 keys to try. HTTPS = your data + a key only you and the site have. #trending #systemdesign #softwarearchitecture #productionready #vibecoding
