All Resources at troubadourworks.com Now Use HTTPS
All resources at troubadourworks.com now use HTTPS. Even when accessed via HTTP, the server will use HTTPS for the connection, like with jw.org.
What is the significance of HTTPS? Wikipedia has this brief summary:
“The principal motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the accessed website and protection of the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data while in transit. It protects against man-in-the-middle attacks. The bidirectional encryption of communications between a client and server protects against eavesdropping and tampering of the communication. In practice, this provides a reasonable assurance that one is communicating without interference by attackers with the website that one intended to communicate with, as opposed to an impostor.”
Web browsers generally show a “lock” š sign of some kind to indicate an HTTPS connection.
As some of you may have noticed, this blog, Links News, was switched over to use HTTPS a while ago, although it still used HTTP when it was accessed via HTTP. It has now also been set to always use HTTPS, even when accessed via HTTP. The tiandi.info blog does not currently use HTTPS, but the plan is for it to eventually be migrated to use HTTPS.
