Mozilla Hits Users with Encryption:

Inspired by the Web search function that is available on Google, EFF, which is the acronym for Electronic Frontier Foundation, along with the project they named the TOR that ultimately made the decision to launch last Thursday a public beta version of the add-on for Firefox. This add-on will allow users of the browser to secure the information of other communication data by connecting to famous websites like Face book as well as Twitter. www.office.com/setup

The new add-on comes under the name HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) Everywhere, which works by establishing its own HTTPS connection to various websites. However, it was stated in the announcement that even if HTTPS is in use however, until the address bar appears colored and a lock icon that is unbroken is visible in the bottom right-hand corner, the page can't be considered to be completely secure.

By using this add-on, it's not guaranteed that IP addresses will be obscured and users won't be vulnerable to being tracked by insecure SSL sessions, which could permit the display of encrypted content on third-party websites. The thought that frequently used websites are secured is a relief, isn't it?

For those who aren't acquainted with encryption, it's an expression used in the field of technology that refers to the process of changing information into a form that makes it inaccessible to anyone else or any other party only those who have keys or passwords. The outcome of this process can be described as either encrypted data or encrypted data based on the kind of file which went through the transformation. By encrypting data in motion such as important computer files but are not in use, during transport, like information being transferred to different networks; or even private messages are protected.

Before the advent of World Wide Web, the military had already used this method to protect certain data from communications to protect themselves. In the present, a variety of institutions, both federal as well as civilian, also utilize this method to safeguard confidential data and files. Furthermore, encryption could also help in transfer of files to ensure data is safe between the source and the receiver. In the event that security measures fail you can be sure that encrypted files remain unread and unnoticed.

With the announcement that encryption of websites is now possible with Mozilla Firefox, the Mozilla Firefox browser, technology has proved once more that it will continue to improve and is never able to amaze its loyal users. We are all aware that even as it is true that the World Wide Web expands each day, online-related criminals also increase in frequency that include hacking. But, thanks to encryption, people are getting more comfortable that security is in good hands and is not taken for granted.

Apart from Twitter as well as Facebook, HTTPS Everywhere also collaborates with:

  • Google Search,
  • Wikipedia,
  • The New York Times,
  • PayPal,
  • Ixquick,
  • EFF,
  • Tor, and
  • The Washington Post.

In the coming months there will be more sites added as the add-on continues to perform. Additionally, any humps related to security issues will be sanded down so that Firefox users will be 100% safe with the browser. It is also certain that in the near future, other browsers like Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Google Chrome among others will definitely be able to adapt to this latest technology not only to promote their products, but also to benefit their users. office.com/myaccount
