HTTPS Everywhere was inspired by Google's increased use of HTTPS [8] and is designed to force the usage of HTTPS automatically whenever possible. [9] The code, in part, is based on NoScript's HTTP Strict Transport Security implementation, but HTTPS Everywhere is intended to be simpler to use than No Script's forced HTTPS functionality which requires the user to manually add websites to a list. [4]
Incoming HTTPS traffic gets decrypted and forwarded to a web service in the private network. A TLS termination proxy (or SSL termination proxy, [1] or SSL offloading [2]) is a proxy server that acts as an intermediary point between client and server applications, and is used to terminate and/or establish TLS (or DTLS) tunnels by decrypting and/or encrypting communications.
A VPN service can log the user's traffic, although this depends on the VPN provider. [15] A VPN service does not make the user immune to cyberattacks. [15] A VPN service is not in itself a means for good Internet privacy. The burden of trust is simply transferred from the ISP to the VPN service provider. [16] [17] A VPN service is not a VPN.
SSL 3.0 (1996) and TLS 1.0 (1999) are successors with two weaknesses in CBC-padding that were explained in 2001 by Serge Vaudenay. [28] TLS 1.1 (2006) fixed only one of the problems, by switching to random initialization vectors (IV) for CBC block ciphers, whereas the more problematic use of mac-pad-encrypt instead of the secure pad-mac-encrypt ...
They are distributed through Chrome Web Store, [90] initially known as the Google Chrome Extensions Gallery. [88] Some extensions focus on providing accessibility features. Google Tone is an extension developed by Google that when enabled, can use a computer's speakers to exchange URLs with nearby computers with an Internet connection that have ...
Moreover, servers may hint or even push content instead of awaiting individual requests for each resource of a web page. [37] SPDY requires the use of SSL/TLS (with TLS extension ALPN) for security but it also supports operation over plain TCP. The requirement for SSL is for security and to avoid incompatibility when communication is across a ...
Lantern is a free and open source [4] internet censorship circumvention tool that operates in some of the most extreme censorship environments, such as China, Iran, and Russia. [5]
In May 2010 Google rolled out SSL-encrypted web search. [178] The encrypted search was accessed at encrypted.google.com [ 179 ] However, the web search is encrypted via Transport Layer Security ( TLS ) by default today, thus every search request should be automatically encrypted if TLS is supported by the web browser.
