Intro to Encryption, in Friendly Terms: Cryptography, AES, Man In The Middle, and HTTPS

Encryption is a technique that scrambles information so that only people with the key can unscramble it. With the rise of the internet, it's used all over the place, from securing your WiFi connection to securing web browsing through HTTPS. If you're new to cryptography or need an intro to cryptography, this is a great place to start!
