      It started as an alternative (replacement) to gif and as such it had actual frames (12 frames at 12fps would be 1s in length) which were loaded progressively. This means that once actionscript was introduced you could execute the code (show preloaders; play sounds, animations, ..) before the app was fully loaded(!) - that's one of the things i loved about flash and still miss in today's tech. Instead of hundreds of requests that we do today, there were only a few in flash - webassembly might change that.

    Another entertaining and educational Computerphile. Each academic has an interesting style and presentation, if Mike Pound is not just research-based but takes the odd class, It would be interesting to watch a vox pop from a cohort of his students to see if they enjoy his classes as much as I enjoy his presentation style. There could well be a whole documentary lurking in the background based on following the presenters over a semester. Their challenges of funding, hierarchy, student and staff interaction, the production of Computerphile, resources, and more. 👀

    Ah, yes... the 90s. Great computer times. We had hubs instead of routers. Blasting all the data to all the port, hoping that only the intended recipient would actually grab it. Or token-ring networks, even worse. With the right tools, you could just grab all the data that was intended for other users in the network, like chats, visited websites, video stream. Fun times...

      For each layer, here's the name, its overall purpose is this, here is a list of a few of the protocols at this layer.

    What is the relationship between TLS and certificates?
    Do you ~need~ certificates to make use of TLS or certificates are just a nice way to pass public keys around?

      I'm pretty sure you need them. otherwise Man in the middle attacks are possible.

      you don't need certificates, you can use pre-shared symmetric keys, then you use PSK key exchange or you can use raw keys, then you need to have some other way to know if you're getting the right key from the server or not

      Certificates are a container for keys that are authenticated through a process called signing. They can be self-signed (usable but considered very dodgy) or they can be held by a certificates server (certificate authority, or CA) which is guaranteed to be an "Honest Ed" source, aka a _Root of Trust_ . Your browser holds a list of CA's to authenticate that the peer (eg. web server) is who it says it is.
      This is my brief explanation of *a* certificate, it's a bit more complicated then that. also I am not guaranteeing that it's all in-line with actual TLS operations; I am basing the explanation on a similar system, CurveCP using the Curve25519 elliptical encryption. I believe it's close.
      Cheers,

      I believe that TLS requires a certificate as a single thing to transfer that includes both a key and proof that this is the right key. It doesn't require the standard PKI with the CAs like LetsEncrypt abd Verisign, though; the server can present any certificate that chains back to a certificate that the client trusts, and the client could have gotten that certificate in a variety of ways. For example, a chat client can contain the certificate that's expected to have signed the server certificate for the server the client will connect to.

      Different configurations both require and don't require certificates. Older algorithms use public/private keypair to encrypt the transfer of the symmetrical keys that encrypt the data and so require one. Modern algorithms use Diffie-Hellman (and ECDHE) to agree a shared key without reference to the public key and so only use the certificate for authentication. Older protocol versions allowed a pre-shared key variants of the algorithms; these are not available in modern versions.
      Bottom line; yes certificates are now required, however, they only have to be publicly notarised if you want the public to connect to your server.

    Could someone please tell me what tablet is that and which software if you know about it?
