One shared key, or a public and private pair? How the two families of encryption work, what each is good at, and why the internet relies on both at once.
Why elliptic curves match RSA with far smaller keys: ECDH, ECDSA and Ed25519, choosing P-256 or X25519, measured speeds side by side, and the quantum risk.
How RSA works, with a small-number example you can check by hand: encryption vs signing, key sizes and speed, RSA vs AES, and what quantum computers mean for it.
Symmetric, asymmetric, key exchange and hashes: a map of AES, ChaCha20, RSA, ECC and more, which algorithms to retire, and where each one protects a video lesson.
