HTTPS is HTTP over TLS. It allows you to encrypt traffic to and from your web server, providing privacy and security for your clients. As of this writing, the world is moving ever closer to HTTPS everywhere: thanks to the Snowden documents, there’s been a big push for more privacy and security. Major companies like Google and Mozilla are securing traffic by default for all their applications. Cloudflare is offering free HTTPS encryption between clients and their severs. Let’sEncrypt, a new Certificate Authority offering free, secure certificates is scheduled to open it’s doors in September.
