It's time to rest in peace: HTTPS Acceleration

Let's Encrypt, a free open source Certificate from Mozilla Alliance Cisco, was finally officially launched in September.

Let's Encrypt aims to implement TLS/SSL authentication for the entire web, so that the site can confirm the access identity and prevent man-in-the-middle.

Now, Let's Encrypt has obtained the cross signature of the SSL provider IdenTrust, and today announced that it is supported by all major browsers, including IE, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

Free Certificates are expected to be distributed starting from January 1, November this year. Nowadays, encryption of network traffic has become a common trend for global websites. Google has already completely converted Gmail traffic to HTTPS, and in order to encourage other websites to follow suit, Google has adjusted its search engine algorithm last year to make HTTPS-based websites rank higher, the search rankings on the iPhone are the same.

This approach aims to avoid third-party eavesdropping or blocking traffic, protect user privacy and security, and implement the exclusive data sharing of websites. In the big data era, data is wealth.
