AES encryption. #29727

Open ben-calvy opened 3 years ago

ben-calvy commented 3 years ago

QUESTION: if you do not use the "--prefer-insecure" command, can the downloaded data packets be read without decryption?

CONTEXT: if i download a YouTube video with the title of "youtube title", would the ISP be able to know the title and the content of the video or would it be AES encrypted?

COMMENT: i asked this because the python files mention "AES" multiple times.

i read the checklist and could find the information i was after in the readme or on the bug tracker as it requested.
