People used to consider encryption more of a luxury than a necessity, but that all changed when information on the NSA’s spying came to light.

With Yahoo promising “encryption everywhere,” Google moving to 2,048-bit certificates by year’s end, HTTP 2.0 to be automatically encrypted, and a renewed interested in secure email, we’ve entered a new phase: the era of encryption by default over the network — and maybe everywhere else, too.
