senior means different things in different places. More and more developers are considered "senior" just because of experience building basic web apps, doesn't mean they have a deep understanding of http/s, public/private key cyrpto, etc...

Not a good thing, but thats how it is some places.

This doesn't require a deep knowledge of https or public/private crypto though. It requires a very basic knowledge of how encryption works. Although to be fair, you can go a long way without that knowledge.
