Encryption, Encryption Everywhere

The Internet has adapted to encryption at a breakneck speed. Multiple studies indicate a rapid increase of encrypted Internet traffic. According to Mary Meeker’s 2019 Internet Trends report, 87 percent of Web traffic was encrypted at the start of 2019, compared to just 53 percent in 2016.

The technology industry is pushing for encryption over the last few years. Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have been calling out any website without encryption as “Not Secure.”
