Encrypted web traffic has gone from a far-off dream from privacy advocates, to something we take for granted and hardly notice. That little green lock or “https” in front of a web address means your internet traffic is encrypted. Privacy and eavesdropping concerns over the years have seen an ever increasing adoption of this security.
For the first time ever, one half of all internet traffic is now encrypted according to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The EFF has long been one of the strongest advocates for web privacy and encryption, so this new milestone means their goals are much closer to being met.
