My writing isn’t a strength of mine, so I appreciate the criticism. My writing going from “bad” -> “is it AI?” is progress.

I struggled with where to “cutoff” the explanation and public key cryptography seemed like a good boundary and better explained elsewhere, as did various OSI layers.

I probably should have gone over the cert and potentially the full chain of trust, I’ll give you that.
