The introduction should be at least 150 words long. While you are using the Internet, have you ever wondered how it works? How are your clicks transferred to something on the other side of the world so quickly? In this blog post, we'll be exploring how a connection is established between your computer and a remote server. This will include how data encryption is used to keep information secure while being transferred across networks. A connection is created through the use of a message called a "header." This is typically sent to your computer via an Internet service provider (ISP) you are subscribed to, such as AT&T or Comcast. The header contains information about the user requesting access to the website. For example, it might say that this user is anonymous and has visited this website many times before. This header also contains the IP address (a unique identifier for each device connected to the Internet) of the remote server that you're trying to connect to. This way, your ISP knows where to send relevant data. After the header is sent, your computer then sends some data to that remote server. This data is called the "request line." It typically contains one of two things: either a command like "GET/CONNECT" or an address like "www.example.com." Once the request line is sent, the server responds with some data called a "response line." It typically contains one of four things: status information, more commands, error codes or redirections. Your computer then receives this response and compares it with the request it had sent previously, making sure that these two were identical before continuing past this phase of communication. At this point in the connection process is when encryption comes into play. This happens as data is being sent between your computer and the remote server. You'll recall from our earlier description that this message was a "header." This header contains a key that is used to encrypt the request line's contents. This way, no one at the remote server can read the data that you're sending. After this point, your computer then sends a line of data called a "data block" to the remote server. This contains whatever it is you wanted to transmit from your computer to this other person's computer. But what if someone intercepts your request? In this case, it will gain knowledge about what you want to access and use against you or steal information from it. This is where encryption comes into play yet again. Data sent after the request line is encrypted with a unique key, which is known only to your computer and the remote server. This key allows your computer and remote server to convert encrypted data to plaintext and vice versa. This way, if any other users intercept this data, it will be unreadable to them. After this point in the connection process, it's up to you and others using that connection whether or not you want to share any further information through that outside channel. For example, once your web browser receives the website from the remote server, you can send back data such as HTML content from that website or an email address if you would like someone to contact you. 8eeb4e9f32 35
