Google is pushing the entire Internet protocol transition from HTTP to HTTPS protocol, this work by Google Search and Chrome browser the head.

| HTTP to HTTPS protocol |
April 2014, WSJ report noted, Google in its search service to sort the results began to consider the "encryption" factor, if certain sites enable HTTPS encryption, it will get a higher ranking than usual. Prior to this, Google has propaganda Sort consider only "quality" and "experience."
August 2014, Google announced that it would "encryption" as the search result ranking official impact factor. It will have a grace period, the current "encryption" influence factors still small, but as time increases, it will become increasingly high until all sites have switched to an encrypted mode (HTTPS).
December 2014, Chrome browser team initiated the proposal, we proposed to the address bar URL encryption is clearly marked. I hope this proposal, after a transition period, the encrypted URL (HTTPS) normal, non-encrypted web site (HTTP) will prompt "unsafe."
Google hopes to promote the HTTPS protocol is a secure version of HTTP agreement. HTTP is one of the most widely used network protocol in the network, which is used to pass messages between clients and end users, and its most famous application is a browser, we usually use the Internet in IE, Chrome, Firefox browser It depends on the ability to work.
HTTP content transmission is not encrypted, you browse the Internet before, submitted the contents of all those who work in the background, such as the owner, cable pathways intentions were unknown route, telecommunications companies, telecommunications operational backbone network router so can to see. If you have access to the foreign site, then have to add an international broadband, and other foreign telecom operators. This string can continue to extend the list until you turn on the network by the worship of fear.
HTTPS allows users to multi-point privacy
Lower in HTTP HTTPS encryption added by the content of HTTPS transfer agreement, unless such participants of this network to prepare in advance, otherwise the message is transmitted over the basic can not be decrypted. And to prepare in advance, to attack the difficulty is very high.
This is a network HTTPS-based Google hopes, and even made "HTTP = unsafe" slogan reasons over the past few years, we have been living in the era of non-encrypted, all traces of the Internet are exposed to the eyes of a giant agency.
US NSA use cookie Google services to produce pinpoint any one of them suspected suspects Internet traces; Verizon Internet users track record on its sales of telecommunications custom machine; Constance Carter and Chinese broadband operators all have non-discriminatory The implementation of user web browsing JS injection on the page advertising popups; and tall, "is not the world of work", piled up by the mass of Cisco equipment, "Broadband export firewall."
In front of them, we really do not have privacy, regardless of nationality, geographical limitation.
But also a big problem HTTPS upgrade, it means infrastructure, network architecture, the underlying service provider changes. HTTPS is called staging Terminator, performance killer, Google is only one, very difficult to push everyone to do change.
