Why is the SSL Certificate traffic increasing?

Wootong is the only ca in China that owns the 1999 old root certificate;

Sandvine, a network service provider, recently released a report that mentions a very interesting phenomenon: compared with last year's data, encrypted network traffic (SSL) is experiencing explosive growth this year.

This change is evident in Europe: the share of SSL traffic throughout Europe this year has quadrupled to 1.47% during peak hours, compared with 6.1% last year. This growth rate far exceeds the overall traffic growth level. ()

In North America, the SSL traffic share has also increased slightly, from 2.29% last year to 3.8% this year, nearly doubled.Although SSL The proportion of traffic is not large.But considering that the overall traffic growth is generally only between 20% and 40% every year, SSL traffic is several times higher.

The growth of encrypted traffic shows a trend of globalization. The growth in Latin America is even more exaggerated, from 1.8% last year to 10.37% this year.

In China, the number of paid SSL certificates issued by wotong ca doubled from that issued in 2013. In August 2014, the free SSL Certificate product was upgraded (supporting all browsers and mobile terminals), and the number of signatures increased dramatically, most users like it. SSL certificates have significantly increased the number of applications for e-commerce websites, game websites, and IDC websites.

The biggest reason for the surge in SSL traffic may be the NSA leak, Edward Snowden, and the US prism listening program he and his friends have rolled out. Google and several other well-known Internet companies announced a few months ago that they would set SSL as the default connection method. More and more operators and users are paying attention to network security.

Encrypted connections have almost become a standard for some websites with sensitive data streams, such as large e-businesses, banks, and securities a few years ago. Internet users are constantly learning how to use encrypted links to protect the information of SSL certificates. Various media are constantly guiding Internet users to pay attention to the existence of "HTTPS" secure links when conducting various transactions.
