the mailbox analogy of everyone knowin the address of the mailbox being the public key, and only the mailbox owner with the keys to his own mailbox as the private key, is a really really really well done analogy. probably the best one ive seen so far with relating public/private keys as a concept to everyday life and making it easier to understand.
Very clear and straightforward. I’ve been beating myself over the head with this topic in my fundamentals class and this just made the differences make a whole lot more sense
same
likewise
Same! This totally makes sense to me now!
LoL 221b BakerStreet . I have been trying to understand Asymmetric encryption concept for nearly 3 hours. None of the clips i watch explained as clearly as you do about exchanging public key. Well done. Thank you so much
You're the first one who noticed the address! Thanks for the kind words ;)
Same here, this idea helped me a little. Since most of these videos keep mentioning TONS of keys, why not use a lock analogy? We generate a key pair, one public and one private. Think of the public key as the unique "lock" you've just made. You can give that lock to as many friends as you want. If you send me your lock, I can put anything in a box and put your lock on it. Once secured with your custom lock, I can no longer open or see the contents of that box without your key that's paired with that lock.
As an American I can honestly say 221 baker is literally the only address I know in that entire country.

ur dickhead
And the next important thing to understand is: Asymmetric encryption algorithms take WAY longer than symmetric encryption algorithms. So people 1) use symmetric encryption to encrypt LARGE amounts of data / files, 2) encrypt the symmetric key with asymmetric encryption and 3) send that (asymmetrically) encrypted symmetric key together with the (symmetrically) encrypted file.
+Kai Rollmann jep, 100% true. Should've added that to the video.
And after that, probably how RSA can also be used to sign and verify data integrity.
I never thought about it! Great!!
Thank you Kai Rollmann
I believe that is how Pretty Good Privacy works.
Great introduction, even for non-technical people. Thanks a lot! I'd love if you could make a similar video to digital signature.
Awesome explanation and graphics for a visual understanding. I was looking for something simple to show friends and family and you've covered it better than I ever could, thank you!
It used to be super complicated for me but even watching this awesome video up to 02:16 helped me understand how public/private keys work in general and now it makes TOTAL sense. THANKS!
Wow..how clearly & beautifully explained. From a long -long time, I was highly confused why 2 keys in asymmetric encryption...never been able to understand...but your explanation made it clear completely. Tons of thanks to you :)
The key words here I was really looking for since a while are: "...algorithm will generate a public and private key that are mathematically linked to each othere. Public keys can be used to encrypt data and only the matching private key can be used to decrypt it.".
High levels of security with mathematics.
Mathematics that provide high levels of security.
Holy lil fuck! Thanks!
This kind of irritated me because this was the reason I was watching the video. I wanted to know HOW that part worked. I already knew all the other pieces.
@@TheGadgetwiz this channel and video is called "simply explained" for a reason... if you want to learn the more complex process behind it, you should do research or watch other videos. don't complain lmao
Thanks for keeping it simple, yet intriguingly educational for a layman curious as to how this technology works in the World Wide Web. Much appreciated sir!
Man you explained it in so much simple manner. I don't even need to note it anywhere. It was like a story that's in my head. Thanks a lot sir.
Excellent video, I’ve been watching many videos about this topic and you’re the only one who I actually understood from. Wonderful Job ❤️
This is the best video on public key encryption. What i found was that, many other videos does not mention the fact that the public keys are exchanged between the two parties. Thank you to the maker of this video!!!
Glad you liked it!
This is the first time I actually understood this after watching many videos about it. Thx
You deserve so much more subscribers.. Hats off
The best and clearest description of public-private key cryptography I have seen so far!
This is the best video to understand the algorithm. I was always amused at how ssh works with keys. No one ever showed the exchange of public keys.
Thanks a lot for the video.
Glad you liked it! Cheers!
Excellent explanation on asymmetric encryption. I was uncertain on how could the encryption of locking/unlocking the data worked since the private key never crossed the wire. You introduced and delivered that difficult concept in an easy relatable manner. Thank you for that! Best video ever. I now feel more confident about asymmetric encryption.
You should also mention that encryption works in the other way too. An encrypted message with a private key can be decrypted only by the paired public key and this insures that the sender (or whoever encrypted the message) is indeed trusted.
Genius
Very nice and clear presentation
Thank you very much! First time I'm trying this new way of creating video's. Glad you liked it!
Firas almannaa what the different b/n Encryptions and programming

Great presentation, you make it easier to figure this new tech for a no-tech person. Keep the blockchain videos coming mate.
After watching so many videos about encryption, this is the first one that makes sense to me. Thanks for the simple explanation and beautiful illustration!
Thank you so much for this easy to understand explanation. Studying cybersecurity and symmetric/asymmetric encryption; this is right on time. Excellent!
Which cert?
Anyone here from The Odin Project? Keep it up, we can do it! :)
Also thanks for the video, the concept seemed almost alien to me but you've explained it in such a clear way that anybody could understand it
Really clarified this topic for me. Thank you for this video!
its awesome how u explain thank you a lot, its beeing one year trying to unterstand this complex IT Security,but i couldnt with all videos in Internet. u just explain it in few minuts and i didnt need to repeat the video thausend time, thank you a lot for your hard work
how can anyone dislike this video? He explained the concept very clearly.
Exactly my thought 🤣🤣 people, i swear. Lol
maybe because he doesn't mentioned the double encryption with senders private and recipients public key
Must be the other youtube chanels that failed to explain it better than this video hahahahah
trolls...
people who don't speak human
Your channel is amazing. Keep them coming!
Thank you this is my first comment in the RUclips you deserve it. Thank you.
This really helped loud, clear and straight to the point!!! Thank you so much
I was always struggling to grasp the concept of asymmetric keys but now, within only 4:40 mins it became crystal clear. Keep it up. :)
rightly and it is prosper.
Very pedagogically explain. Thanks, keep up the good work!
Thank you for explaining this in a way that now makes sense to me!! Much appreciated!!
Short, sweet, and to the point. Thanks for this great info condensed in short amount of time.
excellent video, i had so much confusion with private and public key stuff ..you explained it so beautifully..your channel deserve the title
You’ve got my sub! Thanks for the video, as I’ve been trying to understand this for quite a while, and no one else has been able to explain it to me. Simply put, Alice is encrypting the file in a way that only Bob can understand, and vice versa.
Perfect explain !! Thank you for your effort
This took years for my brain to click, it's hard to grasp when you don't have much experience (IE still in school) - but it all makes sense now :) If you're struggling with this concept don't give up, it finally clicked for me after revisiting the subject once in a while
Fantastically explained! Thank you.
Thank you. Watching mins before next lecture so that I stay aligned
I was able to understand how asymmetric encryption works in just 4:40 mins! Thanks a lot!!!
Just what is it, not how it works
Great video! I couldn't wrap my brain around this concept and the video cleared things right up.
Thanks, you summed up a 2h lecture in 4 minutes. Lovely!
The mailbox example nailed it.. Thanks for the ghaphics and explanation.
I don't understand why 99% of people find it so hard to explain something to another person in straight forward terms. Asymmetric encryption is so damn SIMPLE, yet it's so hard to find a straight explanation like in this video. Thank you! The part that was really confusing me was that EVERYONE has a public key that they give out to anyone who wants to send them encrypted data. Hi, you want to send me encrypted data? Here take my public key and use it to encrypt the data. Now send me the encrypted data. Now I have the encrypted data, I will use my private key to decrypt it. Very straight forward.
So helpful, thanks!
Best and simple explanation.. Thank you
Clear and concise. To the point with great graphical representation.
Thank you so much for this helpful video. You're communication and explanation skills are on point!
Thank you so much! This really answered all my remaining questions, just got taught it and asked things like, why would it be public when you can reverse the process and etc. That mailbox example really did it for me!
Brilliant explanation, thanks! I've been wracking my head over this for ages and then I saw this video. It makes way more sense now!
thanks for helping me understand this concept!
thank you. finally someone who can explain
This is probably the best explanation of this on RUclips
Excellent video. The most well explained I have found so far on the internet!
Watched some of your videos - they are really cool, informative and accurate enough. Great job and thank you.
Thank you for shearing your knowledge
You cleared my confusion. Thanks a ton. Good presentation too.
nice explanation, clear and concise, also you put a great analogy there
Clear and concise! Thanks!
Thanks man... I watched a lot of videos but was not able to clearly understand the exact concept, then I came across your video and yoo!! I understand the concept in no time... Thank you so much 😇😊
Very well taught. Thank you!
thank you so much for explaining this. It took me so long to understand this technical concept until I found your video.
It's really funny that I went through many short video but none was found an easy way to understand this concept.
This video and the analogy of mailbox messaging made the concept more easy to understand. Thanks
Finally Understand it. Thanks man!
Thank you.. the concept was really well explained :)
Thank youu so much for this easy to understand explanation! Truly truly helpful :)
Good job! Very straightforward.
Very very simple and well explained, thank you
Very good and clear explanation, thank you!
The is the best video on internet for this topic. Thanks a bunch!
Awesome work! Keep it up. Will definitely subscribe.
Very nice job explaining. Thank you for a job well done. Helps a ton.
Finally! I understand this! Thanks for a clear, simple explanation.
Thank you very much for your videos! They are amazing and give a lot of value
sweet and simple , just what i needed , thanks a ton
You have definitely lived up to your channel name with this one. Nice work.
Straight to the point ! Gives good groundwork to take this forward!
Thanks!! You made a great explanation.
Omg, dude, this was so straightforward; thank you very much. Cryptography is one of those areas that blows my mind, and today I understood it with a simple video of you.
Very clear and straightforward!!!! Bro you save me night!!!!
Very comprehensive. Thanks!
Video truly worth watching. Thanks for the vivid explanation
Subscribed due to your valuable videos! Keep it up!
Brilliantly, simply explained!
Damn. I understood after trying to understand for months. You're a life saver. Thanks for your amazing work.
Nice one!!! Helped very much!!
This solved my confusion very easily. Great presentation
Excellent explanation - greatly appreciated!
Brilliant Explanation!!
Excellent, this kind of analogies, depicts better the problem for being understood, as the coffer or something like it, than a plain explanation declaring rules and results, because is better mentally thought in mind...beyond and respecting the math matter that is another more complex and low lever discussion. i love this class of analogy when is well applied. thanks for the video
ThankU sir for clearing this concept 😊
Between the video, I thought that u should give this guy a like but then accidentally closed the video when I had finished so I had to open it again just to like it. Good work!
great video, thanks! the best explainer videos like this one take a complex topic and simplify it
Well done! Excellent description.
This is amazing work! Keep going. It's a very helpful content.
Very clear. Thank you!
Watched three videos on symmetrical Encryption , only this one made sense to me , good video
Finally a video that explains it correctly and super clearly.
great video thank you so much, simple and straight to the point
