👶 Technical concepts explained in layman terms! https://git.io/eli5

Going through my Product Hunt feed, I came across a comic that explained How HTTPS Works!

Inspired by the above comment by Brad Hodson, I went ahead and created this project to curate similar resources. Contributions are very welcome!! :D
