All right, since I bombarded a poor mutual yesterday...

Privacy is not security and security is not privacy. These terms are not interchangeable, but they are intrinsically linked.

While we're at this, anonymity =/= security either. For example, Tor provides the former, but not necessarily the latter, hence using Https is always essential.

It is impossible to have privacy without security, but you can have security without privacy.

A case in point is administrators being able to view any data they want due to their full-access rights to a system. That being said, there are ethics and policies that usually prevent such behavior.

Some general tips:

Operating System: Switch to Linux. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are widely used for a reason. Fedora too. And don't worry! You can keep your current operating system, apps and data. If you're on a Mac computer, you can easily partition your hard drive or SSD by using Disk Utility. If you're on Windows, you can follow this guide.

You want to go a step further? Go with Whonix or Tails. They're Linux distributions as well, but they're both aiming for security, not beauty so the interface might not be ideal for everyone. Many political activists and journalists use them.

You want anonymity? Then you need to familiarize yourself with Tor. Also, Tor and HTTPS and Tor’s weaknesses. When you're using it, don't log in to sites like Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. and make sure to stay away from Java and Javascript, because those things make you traceable.

Alternatives for dealing with censorship? i2p and Freenet.

Is ^ too much? Welp. All right. Let's see. The first step is to degoogle.

Switch to a user-friendly browser like Firefox (or better yet LibreWolf), Brave or Vivaldi. There are plenty of hardened browsers, but they can be overwhelming for a beginner.

Get an ad blocker like Ublock Origin.

Search Engine? StartPage or Duckduckgo. SearXNG too. Like I said degoogle.

Get a PGP encrypted e-mail. Check Protonmail out.

There's also Tutamail that doesn't cover PGP, but uses hybrid encryption that avoids some of the cons of PGP.

Skiff mail is also a decent option.

Use an e-mail aliasing service such as SimpleLogin or AnonAddy.

Check OpenPGP out. Claws Mail is a good e-mail client for Windows and Linux, Thunderbird for Mac OS.

Gpg4win is free and easy to use for anyone that wants to encrypt/decrypt e-mails.

Instead of Whatsapp, Facebook messenger, Telegram etc. use Signal for your encrypted insant messaging, voice and video calls.

Get a metadata cleaner.

Get a firewall like Opensnitch, Portmaster or Netguard which can block Internet for trackers.

Alternatively, go with a private DNS that blocks these trackers. NextDNS is a good paid service. Rethink a good free option.

Replace as many of your applications as you can with FOSS (free and open source) ones. Alternativeto can help you.

Always have automatic updates on. They are annoying af, I know, but they are necessary.

Keep your distance from outdated software.

Always have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

Do not use your administrator account for casual stuff. If you're on Linux, you probably know you can be sudo, but not root.

On Linux distributions use AppArmor, but stay away from random antivirus scanners. Other distributions default to SELinux, which is less suited to a beginner.

Never repeat your passwords. If you can't remember them all, use a password manager like KeePass.

Encrypt your drive.

Honestly, VPNs have their uses and ProtonVPN, Mullvad and Windscribe are decent, but eh. If you don't trust your ISP, why would you trust the VPN provider that claims they don't log you when you can't verify such a thing?

step 1: build a professional-looking, ad-free site that will perform formatting and validation on a wide variety of file types used for configuration and data transfer (.properties, YAML, .config, JSON, etc), and decrypt file contents if people will just paste in their handy dandy private key/shared secret/etc. Yes, there are already sites for this stuff, but they're fairly scattered and ad-infested.

step 2: perform whatever SEO skullduggery is needed to get your site to the top of the Google search rankings.

step 3: once your site has established itself, pass every single thing that gets pasted into it to a backend service. If you wanna be coy about it, continue doing the validation in Javascript and pretend that the backend calls are metrics. Listen, if you make the URL something like https://admin.yourhosthere.com/datadog-agent then 90% of devs are gonna go 'yeah that seems legit, it's just my good friend Datadog :)' and investigate no further.

step 4: parse every message for strings like 'username' and 'password'.

step 5: now that you have production credentials for about 40% of international corporations and governments, hold the planet hostage.

step 6: rule the world from a flying volcano lair staffed with jumpsuit-wearing henchmen.

(traditionally the henchmen would come before the world conquest, but like most things, supervillainy has gone through massive changes thanks the internet)

Online Privacy and Security Tips

I am a firm believer that people should be able to be anonymous and secure online. Over a lifetime of trial and error, I've slowly learned the best ways to protect myself, and I'd like to pass on that knowledge to anyone who wants to hear it.

Last updated May 2024 (added links to news articles about PimEyes being used to identify someone in real life)

Switch to Firefox for your main browser on Windows and Android

Avoid any browser based on the Chromium project (like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome), as Google has a major conflict of interest that prevents it from truly having users' privacy interests at heart. It makes ~70-80% of its revenue from its highly targeted advertising business, for which it must collect as much information about you as possible. That means that no matter how badly certain parts of Google want to build privacy into the browser, business interests and pressure will always supersede them, or at least force a compromise that still enables some tracking. Firefox is owned and maintained by a non-profit, so it does not have that same conflict, and it shows in the features it builds (and does not build) and the way it treats its users.

I made a list of my favorite Firefox extensions if you want to make your internet experience more pleasant and/or more secure!

Note: on iOS (i.e. iPhones), Firefox' functionality is limited by Apple restrictions and I do not recommend it - using Safari with Extensions like Adguard or 1Blocker is more secure and will give you a better experience. I made a list of my favorite iOS Safari extensions too!

Use a reputable password manager

I suggest 1Password (avoid LastPass and all of the password managers built into browsers, they're not safe). A good password manager increases your online safety by:

Helping you avoid password reuse (a common cause of account hacking)

Generating complex passwords that are difficult to guess or brute-force, and

Allowing you to keep records of all the different sites you have accounts on (so you can quickly change passwords in the event of a breach or delete your accounts on them when they outlive their usefulness)

Delete old accounts you no longer need

If your data has been deleted, no one can steal and leak it if they manage to hack the company.

Sign up for alerts from HaveIBeenPwned (HIBP) to be notified when your data is leaked in a site hacking.

This allows you to quickly change your password, hopefully before anyone is able to decrypt it (if it wasn't stored properly) or use it (if it was easy to guess). If you have reused that password on other sites, be sure to change your password on those sites either.

Note that some leaks don’t actually have any info about what website they were stolen from; if criminals just dump a huge text file onto a hacking forum that has your username and an accompanying password in it, HIBP doesn’t necessarily know what site they hacked to get that info. This is where a password manager like 1Password will come in handy, because 1P can actually use HIBP’s API to check each of your passwords and see if any of them have been leaked before. It will alert you if you need to change a specific password, even if you weren’t aware that site had been hacked.

Note: 1P only sends the first 5 characters of the password hashes to HIBP, not the passwords themselves. You can read more about the feature and how it preserves your privacy here.

Assume all profile pictures on any site are public, and avoid using your face for them if possible

New AI-powered sites like PimEyes can take an image of you, identify your face, and search for it in other, unrelated images around the internet. I searched for myself using a recent image that had never been posted to the internet before, and it immediately identified me in completely separate images I was using as my profile pictures on Facebook and LinkedIn and provided links to my accounts there. In this new AI era, assume anyone who snaps a picture of you can link you to your identity on any website where you have publicly posted your face before. This is not hyperbole; fans used PimEyes to identify a cameraman at a Taylor Swift concert using nothing more than a screenshot of a video taken of him by a concertgoer. Note: for what it's worth, you can submit an opt-out request to PimEyes if you are worried about someone using it to find your accounts online, but it requires you to submit images of your face and your government ID to the company...

Never post the same (original) image on two accounts that you do want to keep separate

Even a simple reverse image search can allow someone to link your different sites together (i.e. don't post the same vacation sunset photo on both Facebook and Tumblr because anyone can use that to link those sites together. Even if your Facebook or Instagram images are private, a follower of yours on one of those sites could still find the Tumblr you are not comfortable sharing with anyone. Marking your Tumblr as hidden only discourages search engines from indexing it; shady companies can and will ignore that and index it anyway.

Password Manager Part 1

So the other day I was thinking about what else I could do to make my cyber life safer. So I started to looking into a Password Manager. Now you can buy a subscription to a password manager service and there are some good sites out there, but the problem is two things the subscription and security.

By security I mean you look around and you see leaks every where. Corporations getting hacked or they use the info to sale your info and all the user data is under there control. All it would take is someone to hack the password manages and then all the passwords could be out there and your rushing to change everything before they get in.

I don't have the money to do something like that, so I started to dig into making my own Password Manager using Python.I started looking into what I would need.

First would be encryption, one of the standards of the cybersecurity world. Using a mix of hashing through the SHA256 algorithm, and always salting your hashes you can make your stored passwords even more secure.

The code

# Setting up crytogtaphy from cryptography.hazmat.primitives import hashes from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.kdf.pbkdf2 import PBKDF2HMAC from cryptography.hazmat.backends import defult_backend import base64

def derive_encryption_key(master_password, salt): kdf = PBKDF2HMAC( algorithm=hashes.SHA256(), length=32, salt=salt, iterations=100000, backend=defult_backend() ) key = base64.urlsafe_b64encode(kdf.derive(master_oasswird.encode())) return key

Then encryption and decryption, the method of the program will use to keep the passwords encrypted and then decryption when they need to be executed. Writing this code was more challenging but there some amazing resources out there. With quick google searches you can find them.

The Code

# Encryption and Decrptions from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

def encrypt_password(password, key): fernet = Fernet(key) encrypted_password = fernet.encrypt(password.encode()) return encrypted_password

def decrypt_password(encrytped_password, key): fernet = fernet(key) decrypt_password = fernet.decrypt(encrypted_password).decode() return decrypted_password

Next up I wanted Random Password generation, at least 12 chars long, with letters, numbers and special chars.

The Code

# password generation import string import random

def generate_secure_password(length=12): char_pool = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + string.punctuation password = ''.join(random.choice(char_pool) for _ in range(length)) return password

Finally it would be needing a data base to store the passwords. Through googling, and research. I would need to set up a SQL Data base. This would be something new for me. But first I could set up the code and the key for the user. Later I will add the SQL data base.

Now part of this would be setting up a Master Password and user name. This worried me abet, because anybody could just hop in and take a look at the code and see the Master Password and then get access to all my passwords and such. So to keep your code safe, it is all about restricting your code. Location, keep your code in a safe locked files, away from prying eyes and encrypted, and access to the source code should be restricted to just you and who ever you trust.

The Code

# Seting up SQL database. def setup_database(): conn = sqlite3.connect('users.db') c = conn.cursor() c.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Uer_keys (user_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY, key BLOB)''') conn.comit() conn.close()

def main(): # setup database setup_database()

#create a key for the user master_password = input("Enter your master password: ") salt = b' some_salt' # Generate secure salt for each user key = derive_encryption_key(master_password, salt)

#Simulate user intreaction user_id = "user@example.com" #user ID user_password = "Password1234" #user password to encrypt

# Encrypt the users password encrypt_password = encrypt_password(user_password, key) print(f"decrypted password for {user_id}; {decrypt_password}")

# Placeholder for intrgrtating the password storage and retriecal logic # This would inculde calls to interact with the SQL database.

if __name__ == "__main__": main()

Now I have much more to do to the program, I need to set up a SQL data base for storage this will be its own can of worms. Learning SQL will be a new challenge for me.

Also I wanted to add more features to the program, I was thinking about setting up an auto fill feature. Now the program will just display the requested password and you have to manually put it in. I want to see if there will be a way to auto fill it.

So stay tuned as I do more research.

SSL Certificates are an essential part of running a website in the age of digital transformation. A secure website is an essential part of any organisation’s online presence. SSL Certificates are an essential part of running a website in the age of digital transformation. A secure website is an essential part of any organisation’s online presence. Users are becoming more aware of cyber threats and will only trust websites that take security seriously. SSL certificates are a trusted way to show users that your site is safe to use. In this article, we’ll explain what an SSL certificate is and why you need one for your business. We’ll also highlight the ten best SSL certificates for your business in 2022. What is an SSL Certificate? SSL stands for “Secure Sockets Layer” which is a standard for secure communication over a network. SSL certificates are digital certificates that use encryption to secure websites and web services. An SSL certificate ensures that sensitive information like usernames, passwords, and financial data are kept private during transmission. SSL certificates use a public key and a private key to encrypt data. The public key is used to encrypt data, and the private key is used to decrypt data. If a website has HTTPS instead of HTTP, it means the site uses an SSL certificate. Let’s Encrypt is a free and open certificate authority (CA) that issues SSL certificates for websites. If you have ever used a website that starts with “https”, you have used an SSL certificate. It's a lesser known fact that in 2015, SSL was actually retired from use, in favour of a new protocol: TLS. The different types of SSL Certificate. What is the difference between TLS and SSL Certificates? SSL and TLS are both cryptographic protocols that enable secure communication between two parties. The main difference between SSL and TLS is that SSL is a predecessor of TLS and is less secure than TLS. TLS uses asymmetric encryption to provide confidentiality protection and integrity protection to the communications. This means that each party has a public and private key pair, and all data transmitted is encrypted using the public key. Additionally, all data received is verified using the private key. SSL uses symmetric encryption to protect the confidentiality of a message being transmitted across a network. The message is encrypted using a single key that both the sending party and the receiving party possess. Such is the brand recognition of SSL though, they still continue to be referred to as SSL Certificates to this day. So that's what everybody still calls them. Why do you need an SSL certificate? Your users’ trust is vital to your website’s success. One of the best ways to build trust is to ensure that all data is encrypted when it is transmitted. SSL certificates do this by using a public key to encrypt the data. The data is decrypted using a private key that only your website has access to. When a visitor browses your website, they can be assured that their data is secure. SSL certificates also help with your SEO. Google has stated that websites with HTTPS will rank higher in search results. This is especially important for eCommerce sites since a higher SEO ranking means more sales. While SSL certificates are not a requirement for Google search results, they are recommended.

Passwords hashing is used to secure passwords. Hashing is a common technique across various software and tools. Hashing is used as a security mechanism for preventing plain text information known to others. It's mathematically impossible to calculate a plain text for Hash since hashing is a one-way process. Still, there are different ways exist that can crack the hash and retrieve your password or other sensitive information that may have been hashed. Hashing technique is mostly applicable to protect password like information since its a one-way process. You may also want to check out - how to learn hacking and cracking. This is a simple tutorial that will explain how hash cracking works. Why Password Hashing Is Considered Secure Hashing is a one-way process. This guarantees that the hash of a plain text value can be generated however the process can not be reversed. Most software and websites use this way to store password since the user knows the password. Whenever they need to authenticate the user, they generate the hash of user input and match it with a stored password. This mechanism guarantees that even the software provider themselves do not know your password. However, there are hacking and cracking tools as well as other techniques described below that may be able to find out your password from a hash. Today we will learn about Cracking the Hashes using CPU and GPU. CPU: Central Processing Unit GPU: Graphical Processing Unit We will cover: What is a Hash? What is the need for a Hash? Why Hash over Encryption or Encoding? Hardware configuration Tools required Hash cracking [CPU] Hash cracking [GPU] Hash cracking using Search engine Why such a difference? What Is A Hash? A. A Cryptographic function that converts a data or file of arbitrary length or size to a fixed length, which is considered practically impossible to invert. see Wikipedia What Is The Need Of A Hash? A major use of Hash is in the security field. To provide security or privacy to the user who is using any service of a company. For example, You are using Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, eBay, Amazon or Online payment portals like Paypal. Where you use the service by providing your credentials(username/password) There are basically 2 reasons: Making it difficult for hackers to recover/retrieve Password, Online service(Gmail,eBay, etc) or even Wi-Fi. Checking for the file verification. see SHA1 here Even If a company’s security is breached (Hacked), then also the user’s credentials are safe(only if you use a strong password) Why Hash Over Encryption And Encoding? Imagine a scenario, which perhaps happens to almost every Big banner, take it Google, Facebook, Yahoo! etc. A website is compromised and User’s data(credentials) is compromised. What is the thing that will make you worry when you come to know that if you are a registered user on that site? Yes! your Password (might be the master password, for all your accounts). Now, It is in service provider’s hand to provide security to their consumers. Hence, Hashing is the solution. How? well, you might be familiar with these terms: Encoding/Decoding Encrypt/Decrypt and now, Hashing Not going into the details, I will tell you a basic and most important feature of Hash which makes Hash much different and important over Encoding and Decoding. and that is : Encoded text/file can be Decoded, Encrypted text/file can be Decrypted, But hashed text/file can never be De-hashed. Yes, Hash, unlike Encryption/Encoding, is a One-way process i.e when a text/file goes through the Cryptographic hash function, it is converted into a fixed character length. Example: md5 type hash has a character length of 32, where SHA1 has a character length of 40. If we hash a string, say “test123″, md5 and SHA1 hash for “test123″ will be md5(“test123″) : CC03E747A6AFBBCBF8BE7668ACFEBEE5 SHA1(“test123″) : 7288EDD0FC3FFCBE93A0CF06E3568E28521687BC Length differs from md2, md4 to SHA256, SHA512 and so on.

Hashing your Wi-Fi password is also secured using a hash function named PBKDF2(Password-Based Key Derivation Function) Hardware Configuration Hardware used in this tutorial: Laptop with 4 GB RAM Nvidia Graphic card 1 GB Tools Required Software used in this tutorial: Windows 8, 32-bit Cain & Abel (CPU based cracker). igHashGPU (GPU based cracker), download here Nvidia graphics driver, for igHashGPU, download here Hash Cracking [CPU] Cain & abel is a multi-purpose tool. It is used for various purpose like Sniffing Hash calculating Hash recovery(this tutorial) ARP spoofing WiFi hacking, using hardware called AirPcap and so on. We will take MD5(Message Digest 5) cracking as an example to keep it simple and easy to understand. Install Cain & abel, then follow the instruction along, step-by-step: Open Cain & abel Press Alt+C to open the Hash calculator Type in “test123” and hit [ENTER], here “test123″ is our test string You should see something similar, Here we got the MD5, and other Hash for string “test123″ i.e CC03E747A6AFBBCBF8BE7668ACFEBEE5. select and copy the MD5 hash.
NOTE: Hashing is Case sensitive, Hash for “Test123” will be absolutely different. Click on Cracker tab, then select MD5 Hashes column in the left. then right click and select Add to list. Paste the copied MD5 hash and hit [ENTER] Now, Hash is added to list. Right click on hash and select Brute-Force attack Set max length to 7 and click Start, and you should see this


. Here I have set the Max length of the password to be 7 to just test the output of the tool, and cracking speed of the CPU.
See the Password/Second CPU is testing: 6.3M (approx) and the remaining time i.e total time which will take CPU to recover the original string is 3.5 hours. It is too lame to wait for 3.5 hours for a small string test123 of the length of 7 characters with no special characters. isn’t it? well, here comes the GPU cracking to put some speed in the process! Hash Cracking [GPU] igHashGPU is a password recovery tool specialized for ATI (RV) and nVidia (Cuda) based cards. It recovers password of hashes which are used over the internet(weak), example md4/md5/SHA1. Let's get started, We have the MD5 string for test123 i.e CC03E747A6AFBBCBF8BE7668ACFEBEE5 Follow the instructions along, step-by-step: Download and extract igHashGPU. Go to folder Right click and edit the file “example.cmd“. It is the example file for testing GPU speed of recovering MD5 password. Paste the MD5 code in the file after h:
and it should look like this :
ighashgpu.exe /h:CC03E747A6AFBBCBF8BE7668ACFEBEE5 /t:md5 /c:sd /min:4 /max:7 Close file. Click save and yes. Select “Example.cmd” and hit [ENTER]. A command prompt window will open like this


. See the CURSPD(Current speed), ~50 Million. Nice! but not good, isn’t it? see the battery symbol in the lower right corner. The laptop is running on battery. See what happens when I plug in the charger, notice the clock and speed. WHOA! See the difference! from 50M to 195M passwords/second, isn’t it great ? from 6.3M pass/sec to 195M pass/sec. That’s a big Jump. What you think how long it would have taken to recover the Password ? Just 5 minutes and 53 seconds. See how much time we saved by using GPU. From 3+ hrs to just 5 minutes. isn’t it amazing? also see the average speed also, 62,847 Million passwords/second. CPU: ~3 hrs with 6M pass/sec
GPU: ~6 min with 195M pass/sec You might ask, Hey! can we crack this even faster? well, the answer is Yes you can(not always though). How? Hash Cracking Using Search Engine [Google] We had MD5 string copied, right? what you need to do is very simple. Just paste and search the MD5 string i.e CC03E747A6AFBBCBF8BE7668ACFEBEE5 on Google. and you’re done! Notice the text string “test123” and the Hash. So simple to recover the string from MD5, no? Now see the time above, it took us to recover the original string. Just 0.31 seconds. not even a second. Wow! that’s great.

You might be thinking why such a difference? here’s the answer Why Such A Difference? The difference in the speed is due to the architecture of the 3. CPU: Uses 4 cores(Shared with system processes) at maximum, 8-cores in some cases. GPU: Used 96 cores (In this case). All the 96 cores(Parallel processing units) were 100% dedicated for the password recovery process unlike CPU, which was simultaneously handling the complete OS including background processes, GUI(mapping of pixels on screen), and many other processes. Even if the CPU stop handling those, then also it won’t match GPU’s performance. difference because of the #of cores i.e 96 vs. 4 or 8 Latest GPU’s that I have seen comes with more than 400 cores. It can take you more than a billion passwords/second to recover the MD5 hashed string. Google Don’t Crack The Hash. Yes!, Google doesn’t crack/recover the string. It sends a request for the specific Text input i.e the hash in our case, to all the servers, takes the response back and displays the result according to the page rank of the site. There are plenty of online crackers, which can be used to crack a variety of hashes. They search their Database for the hash you have entered. If the string of hash is already recovered by them, they will give it to you, else you have to pay to avail the service. An email is sent if the string has been recovered. So, what Google does is sending a request to all these servers and displaying you the result. Result of the hash already cracked. It certainly becomes the Top priority for hash cracking. Search google first, if you didn’t find the password, go for GPU cracking.
Still didn’t succeed? Try CloudCraker, crackStation, HashKiller You can google “Online hash cracker” for more results. Note: Cracking speed varies depending on factors like: GPU configuration, ATI graphics cards are the best for this task. Hash type, for SHA1 it will be even lesser and for WPA hash cracking it goes down to 4000 Pass/sec on my graphics card. see this list.

Understanding Data Encryption in Web Development

Hey there, web builders and curious minds! If you’re creating a website or running an online business, keeping user data safe is a must. One key way to do that is through data encryption. As someone who’s watched the web grow, I’m here to explain what encryption is, why it’s crucial, and how it works in web development. Let’s break it down in a friendly way, with clear insights, so you can make your site secure in 2025.

What Is Data Encryption?

Data encryption is like putting your information in a locked box that only the right key can open. It scrambles data—like passwords or credit card numbers—into a code that’s unreadable without the correct key. When users send or receive data on your website, encryption keeps it safe from prying eyes. A 2024 Norton report says 85% of data breaches involve unencrypted data, showing why encryption is non-negotiable.

In web development, encryption happens when data moves between a user’s browser and your server (like during a purchase) or when it’s stored (like in a database). The best web development agencies in India use encryption to protect clients’ sites, ensuring trust and safety.

Why Encryption Matters

Imagine a customer in Bhubaneswar buying from your online store. They enter their card details, expecting them to stay private. Without encryption, hackers could grab that info mid-transaction. A 2024 Verizon Data Breach Report found that 43% of cyberattacks target web applications, often exploiting weak security. Encryption stops this by making stolen data useless without the key.

Beyond safety, encryption builds trust. Users are 70% more likely to shop on sites with visible security measures, per a 2024 Statista survey. It also helps you meet laws like India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), which pushes for strong data protection. For developers working with the best web development agencies in India, encryption is a standard to keep clients and users happy.

How Encryption Works in Web Development

Encryption uses math to scramble and unscramble data. Here’s the simple version of how it fits into web development, without getting too nerdy.

1. Encryption During Data Transfer

When users visit your site, data travels over the internet. To keep it safe, websites use HTTPS, which relies on Transport Layer Security (TLS). TLS encrypts data between the browser and server, so even if someone intercepts it, it’s gibberish. For example, a Bhubaneswar e-commerce site uses HTTPS to protect checkout details. A 2024 Google report says 95% of web traffic is now HTTPS, up from 80% in 2020.

To set this up, developers install an SSL/TLS certificate on the server. It’s like a digital ID that proves your site is legit and enables encryption. Most hosting providers offer free certificates through Let’s Encrypt.

2. Encryption for Stored Data

Data sitting in your database—like user emails or payment info—needs protection too. Developers use algorithms like AES-256 to encrypt this data. AES-256 is super strong, turning data into a code that’s nearly impossible to crack without the key. A 2024 OWASP guide recommends AES-256 for sensitive data storage.

For instance, a Bhubaneswar hospital’s website might encrypt patient records in its database. If hackers break in, they get scrambled data, not usable information. Developers manage encryption keys carefully, often storing them separately for extra safety.

3. End-to-End Encryption for Communication

Some web apps, like messaging platforms, use end-to-end encryption. This means only the sender and receiver can read the messages—not even the server. Think of WhatsApp: messages are encrypted on your phone and only decrypted on the recipient’s. A 2024 TechCrunch study says 60% of users prefer apps with end-to-end encryption for privacy.

Practical Tips for Web Developers

Want to make encryption part of your web development? Here’s how to get started, based on what top developers do.

Use HTTPS Everywhere: Get an SSL/TLS certificate and force all traffic to use HTTPS. Tools like Cloudflare make this easy.

Pick Strong Algorithms: Stick to trusted encryption methods like AES-256 for stored data and TLS 1.3 for transfers. Avoid outdated options like MD5.

Secure Your Keys: Store encryption keys in a safe place, like a hardware security module, not in your code. A 2024 Snyk report says 30% of breaches happen due to exposed keys.

Test Your Setup: Use tools like Qualys SSL Labs to check your encryption strength. Regular tests catch weak spots before hackers do.

Stay Updated: Keep your software and libraries current. A 2024 Synopsys study found 20% of vulnerabilities come from outdated encryption tools.

Why This Matters in 2025

India’s digital economy is booming, with 900 million internet users in 2024, per Statista. As businesses go online, security is a top concern. Encryption isn’t just a tech detail—it’s a promise to your users that their data is safe. For Bhubaneswar startups or global brands, strong encryption sets you apart.Ready to secure your website? Start with HTTPS, use strong algorithms, and keep your keys safe. If you need help, the best web development agencies in India can guide you. Protect your users, build trust, and keep your site thriving in 2025!

Back end Web Development: 5 Best Measures for a Secure Website  

No matter how advanced features you use in back end web development, there are high chances that your website can be attacked by malware, hackers, or users. Such attacks enable fraudulent people to gain access to confidential data, like bank details and health-related information. Cyberattacks not only harm users, but they also spoil the reputation of developers.

So, if you are a developer, you must know reliable ways to strengthen your back end security.

Having taken this fact into account, we have written this blog to familiarize you with the 5 best ways to make your back end strong enough to keep cyberattacks at bay.

Top 5 Methods for Secure Back end Development:

As a developer, if you adopt the following practices in back end web development, you will considerably reduce the chances of unauthorized access to your website:

Multi-Factor Authentication:

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) means adding extra steps for the authentication of a user during login. Let’s get a clear idea of MFA with the example provided below:

Google or Facebook may send a code to the user’s phone number when they sign in with their email, or they may need a biometric scan.

Thus, an additional layer of protection is added, which is better than the usual password and email methods.

Data Encryption:

Personal data, credit card details, and passwords must be kept confidential, as they are sensitive information. In fact, such details must not be stored in the database in their plaintext format. Doing so is as foolish as leaving your door open with the line, ‘come in and steal whatever you want.’

Keep in mind that if data is hacked, all sensitive data will be leaked. To cope with this issue, rely on encryption.

Encryption is like keeping your door locked with a strong key. It scrambles the data so well that it becomes beyond understanding. Even if somebody breaks in, they will not be able to understand what it says. Thus, you can keep your sensitive information safe.

The following are some encryption methods used in back end web development for indubitable security:

Hashing: It converts data into a fixed-length string.

Asymmetrical encryption: With a pair of keys (private and public), asymmetric encryption enables encryption and decryption.

Symmetrical encryption: It utilizes a single key for encryption as well as decryption.

These encryption techniques can allow you to miraculously improve the security of your back end web applications and protect confidential data from fraudulent access and leaking.

Disaster Recovery and Data Backup:

A wise back end development strategy is incomplete without regular data backup and disaster recovery. If a physical loss of data happens, for example, a hard disk failure, or software data loss, like a storage error or damage because of malware, data recovery is possible with backup.

Ensure that you choose backup software and fix a backup schedule, like daily, weekly, or monthly. Your backup methods must have full backups, incremental backups, and differential backups.

Proper Validation and Sanitization:

It’s foolish to trust the input provided by the user. In other words, you’d better assume that any data given by users may be malicious without proper validation and sanitization.

Validation means checking whether the input provided by the user harmonizes with the expected format, type, and constraints. 

If there is a form field for an email address, validation will ensure that the input sticks to the correct email format, and it’s not just normal text.

Sanitization means the removal and modification of harmful elements or characters from the user input for the prevention of security vulnerabilities. For instance, if you eliminate HTML tags from user-generated input, it can stop cross-site scripting attacks.

That’s why validation and sanitization are a must-have in back end web development.

Authorization and RBAC:

Authorization means determining whether a user is permitted to do a particular thing on a specific resource. However, it’s wise not to allow some users to get some permissions. It’s because limiting permissions leads to reduced risk. The fewer the permissions are, the smaller the attack surface is. Thus, the fraudulent people can’t take advantage of vulnerabilities. That is where Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is required. RBAC is a mechanism to control and manage access to resources according to the user’s role in organizations. That’s why businesses look for it when they hire Angular development services.

In a usual website, there is an administrator with full access to all resources, and a user who can view their own data.

RBAC makes sure that each user can only do those things that are allowed to them according to their given role. Let’s get it clear with an example below:

A user is not allowed to modify the data of another user or have access to administration functions. When such permissions are limited according to the requirements, the risks of data breaches and unauthorized access are reduced to a large extent.

Conclusion

The 5 best ways for safe back end web development are multi-factor authentication, data encryption, disaster recovery and data backup, validation and sanitization, and authorization and RBAC.

By using these measures, you can reduce the chances of a cyberattack on your website.

To my understanding, the encryption is not quite the point. It would be necessary to encrypt user data if you are indeed using all available devices to track all other available devices AND store AND report everyone's location. So cool, we're not literally giving every passing stranger an unencrypted history of our phone's location, and vice versa.

Saying "Google ALSO can't see this encrypted data (that your phone encrypts using a key that Google already has)" is extremely suspect, though. I have little faith that Google won't take that key they already have and decrypt user data the instant they get a rubberstamped bullshit search warrant. To speak to other concerns from other people on this post, Google tracking your location is also not quite the point. Sorry that my previous reblog wasn't clear about this. If you have Google cellular service and your phone connects to the cellular towers, Google pretty much already has your location. This is also true if Google has any access to your location data at all, for example through Google Maps.

(Does Google actually respect settings like "allow only while using the app" for permissions like location? lol who knows) And yes, if you're doing something where you absolutely can't be carrying a rectangular tracker with you, then you need to use airplane mode, or just leave the phone somewhere else.

The worst part of this recent development is on-by-default participation in a NEW mass-location-gathering-network, whether your device is connected to the internet or not, AND all devices you're logged into can see your location data at any time, AND did we mention it's turned on by default, AND and the only reduction setting easily accessible to users is "we'll still Find You if your phone is online though (the previous Find My Device feature)"

And online we are, I think, because people generally use their cell phones as phones, to be ready to receive a call or message from a cell tower or wifi signal at any time. "Just use airplane mode" is not really an everyday solution to "Google, why the hell are you sniffing around for nearby cells and devices".

Not to mention "show me the location of this device" is extremely easy to abuse if. Or like what if someone somehow got access to your account. I'm not even talking about the nebulous threat of hackers, I'm talking about abusive parents and partners. Why exert all the extra effort to install tracker software when you can just use Google's built-in tracker? You've already forced your victim to share their passwords and keys with you, and now you can easily pretend to be them and "find my device" and track them anywhere, anytime. This is another reason that "just use airplane mode" isn't a good solution, because what if the victim misses a call or a message from their abuser? Now they're outed as "trying to sneak around by turning on airplane mode and not answer when I contact you? And you hide your location from me?" That won't end well.

And yes, the Find My Device service existed prior to this, with similar potential for abuse, but this feature is turning itself on AND has been publicly hyped up AND making itself difficult to turn off AND it's making itself a network of devices now, not just a device connecting and reporting itself to the internet.

Finally, this whole implementation was Google's "look at us, we care so much about privacy" option. "We'll let users toggle this off (with more buried options and caveats), and we won't turn on a device's cellular/wifi/bluetooth ourselves if it's been turned off by the user." So wow, thanks, shitty opt-out link, because you promise not to integrate my device into this tracking network if I basically reduce my smartphone (that I need to use for messages and phonecalls) to an offline calculator-and-camera. At least you promise not to turn on radios that I've turned off myself. Thaaaanks.

Sorry this got so long, but there's not really one big thing that makes this So Much Worse than anything before, so much as it takes everything and makes it All A Little Worse. I've been wondering how to articulate this better as this post gets more and more circulation. Hopefully this helps.

Critical PSA for anyone with Android devices!

I got the following email this morning:

Basically Google is rolling out the ability to track you via your android devices even when you're offline and you have to manually opt out of it. Many android devices no longer come with a wired headphone jack, so if you have Bluetooth headphones or a keyboard or anything, your location will be tracked and stored by your device unless you opt out of this.

I tried using the link they gave me in the email to opt out of it, but it didn't really seem to do anything. So I looked up how to opt out and found the following steps, which worked for my phone:

Opting out from the Find My Device network is as simple as tapping a toggle in your phone's settings. 1. On your Android device, go to Settings. 2. Tap the Google setting. 3. Tap the Find My Device setting. 4. Tap the toggle to off next to "Use Find My Device." 5. Confirm with pin, pattern, or biometrics. That's it. Your device is no longer participating in the Find My Device network. To rejoin, just flip the toggle back on.

Please reblog to spread awareness. My husband has the same phone as me and he didn't get any emails about this.

Best Practices for Developing a Secure and User-Friendly Banking App

In today’s digital age, consumers prefer using mobile apps for banking and financial transactions. Some examples include Apple Pay or Google Pay for contactless payments in stores; Banking apps to check account balances, transfer funds, pay bills, deposit checks via photo capture, and apply for loans or credit cards; insurance apps to pay premiums, file claims, and access roadside assistance; and many more.

While the convenience of using such mobile applications is undeniable, security and user experience are of utmost importance to ensure both the safety and satisfaction of users. Users expect their banking app not only to be intuitive and easy to use but also to keep their sensitive information safe. Here are the best practices for creating a secure and user-friendly banking app that meets the needs of both financial organizations and their end customers.

Banking App Development: Best Practices

User Authentication

Secure user authentication is the foundation of a safe banking app. A combination of methods—such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), biometric verification (fingerprints, facial recognition), and one-time passwords (OTPs)—creates multiple layers of security that deter unauthorized access. Using biometric authentication, for example, can enhance security while making the login experience fast and hassle-free for the user.

Best Practices:

Implement 2FA or MFA as a standard protocol.

Encourage users to enable biometric authentication.

Use session timeouts and automatically log out users after a period of inactivity.

Data Encryption and Secure Communication Channels

If you encrypt your data following standard mechanisms; any user wouldn’t be able to read or access it without the correct decryption key. End-to-end encryption secures data during transmission, while AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) can safeguard stored data.

Best Practices:

Encrypt all kinds of sensitive data like personal details, account numbers, etc.

Use SSL/TLS certificates so that data is transmitted securely.

Update encryption techniques regularly to stay aligned with industry standards.

Implement Strong Access Controls

Access control is essential to prevent unauthorized access to user data and system resources. Role-based access control (RBAC) allows only authorized users and systems to access sensitive information or perform specific functions. This helps reduce the attack surface and limit potential damage from a data breach.

Best Practices:

Use RBAC to define user permissions.

Review access logs for identifying unusual access patterns.

Establish different user roles (e.g., user, admin) with distinct access levels.

Regular Security Audits and Penetration Testing

Banks should regularly conduct security audits and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities and areas for improvement. These tests simulate potential attack vectors and help developers patch security flaws before they can be exploited.

Best Practices:

Partner with third-party security firms for unbiased audits.

Perform routine vulnerability assessments.

Keep a continuous improvement cycle by scheduling regular security reviews.

User-Friendly Interface and UX Design

A secure banking app is only effective if users find it easy to use. The user interface (UI) should be designed for clarity, simplicity, and accessibility. The user experience (UX) in banking applications should minimize friction by making essential functions like logging in, viewing balances, and transferring money intuitive and quick.

Best Practices:

Conduct user testing to optimize the app’s UI and flow.

Use clear labeling and simple navigation.

Focus on the essential features; avoid overloading users with too many options.

Compliance with Financial Regulations

Banks operate in a highly regulated environment, and financial apps must adhere to industry standards and government regulations such as PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) for data privacy.

Best Practices:

Familiarize yourself with relevant regulations (GDPR, PCI DSS, CCPA).

Implement data protection measures in compliance with these standards.

Keep records of data handling and retention policies for audits.

Implement Fraud Detection and Prevention Mechanisms

Integrating real-time monitoring systems to detect fraudulent activity can help prevent unauthorized transactions. Leveraging AI and machine learning models can improve the detection of suspicious activities, especially those that differ from typical user patterns.

Best Practices:

Set up alerts for unusual transaction behaviors.

Integrate AI-driven fraud detection models.

Allow users to freeze accounts and report suspicious activity directly through the app.

Regularly Update and Patch the App

Keeping the app updated is critical, as outdated software is vulnerable to attacks. Regular updates allow developers to apply patches that protect against newly discovered security threats. Furthermore, these updates can improve usability by fixing bugs and enhancing the app’s performance.

Best Practices:

Set up a dedicated schedule for maintenance and updates.

Communicate update benefits to users to encourage installations.

Patch security vulnerabilities immediately upon discovery.

Educate Users on Security Best Practices

A secure app design alone is not enough if users are unaware of potential security risks. Informing users about the best practices, such as avoiding public Wi-Fi when accessing mobile banking apps and setting strong passwords, helps create an additional line of defence.

Best Practices:

Send regular security tips and updates to users.

Create in-app guides or FAQs on protecting accounts.

Prompt users to review and update their security settings periodically.

Final Thoughts

Creating a secure and user-friendly banking app is a continuous process that requires a proactive approach to security and usability. By implementing these best practices, banks and financial institutions can ensure that their apps not only provide top-grade security but also a seamless and satisfying UX. The result? Higher user trust, better engagement, and a competitive edge over peers. Here's a handy tip: If you don’t have a comprehensive in-house IT team, collaborating with a trusted IT partner can make all the difference.

Is Google’s Willow Quantum Chip a Threat to Bitcoin’s Dominance?

Key Points

Google’s subsidiary, Alphabet Inc, has introduced a new quantum chip named Willow.

Despite concerns, experts believe Willow is not powerful enough to pose a threat to Bitcoin’s security.

Alphabet Inc, under Google, has launched Willow, its newest quantum chip. There is speculation that Willow could potentially disrupt Bitcoin’s dominance due to its impressive capabilities.

Willow’s Quantum Capabilities

Willow, developed by Google, is a highly potent quantum supercomputer. It can perform certain computational tasks in just five minutes, tasks that would take classical supercomputers 10 septillion years. This duration is significantly larger than the entire existence of the world, which is 13.8 billion years.

The American multinational corporation has described Willow as a “state-of-the-art” chip. It showcases error correction and performance, setting the stage for a functional, large-scale quantum computer. This level of sophistication could render passwords obsolete.

Encrypted messages could easily be intercepted, including nuclear weapon codes. Essentially, anything with a secret key could easily be unlocked through brute-forcing combinations of numbers and letters.

Many believe that Willow has the potential to crack Bitcoin’s complex math algorithm SHA-256, thereby compromising the network.

Willow’s power lies in its qubits, which can reach up to 105, equivalent to improved error rates. Unlike traditional bits that represent either a 0 or 1, qubits can represent both simultaneously due to quantum phenomena like superposition and entanglement.

The presence of qubits allows quantum computers to run at a very high speed, performing multiple calculations at once. They could eventually solve problems currently intractable for classical computers.

However, Bitcoin’s SHA-256 for mining and ECDSA for signatures are believed to be highly vulnerable to quantum decryption.

Bitcoin Remains Unthreatened

Despite these concerns, some experts believe that Willow’s threat to Bitcoin is unfounded. Based on their analysis, Google’s latest quantum computing chip needs to be even more powerful to pose a risk, at least not yet. Therefore, Bitcoin might not face any immediate risks.

“Experts estimate you’d need about 1 million high-quality qubits to make a dent in Bitcoin’s security,” explained Cinemad Producer, a pseudonymous analyst and tech expert.

Therefore, even as advanced as Willow, quantum computers lack the necessary scale or error correction capabilities to decrypt widely used encryption methods immediately. They hardly stand a chance against RSA, ECC used in Bitcoin transactions, or even AES in securing data.

Should quantum computers reach a scale that can factor in large numbers, they could break these encryption schemes. This would compromise wallet security and transaction integrity. Until then, Bitcoin faces no immediate challenge.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s price briefly dipped, losing some of its gains in heavy crypto liquidations. From trading at over $97,000 during the early hours of Monday, the firstborn crypto asset plunged to $94,000. Since then, BTC price has recovered slightly and is currently trading at $97,304.83.

Common Causes of SSL Certificate Errors

Data Encryption:

Data encryption is a vital security measure that safeguards sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by converting data into unreadable code. This process ensures that only authorized parties with the decryption key can access the original information. By encrypting data during transmission between servers and clients, it protects against unauthorized interception, hacking, and data breaches.SSL Certificate Errors can include expired certificates or misconfigured server settings, which can undermine encryption effectiveness. Encryption not only preserves privacy but also enhances trust in online interactions, making it an essential component of modern cybersecurity strategies.

Authentication:

Authentication is a critical security process that verifies users are accessing the legitimate website they intend to reach, not a fraudulent one. It works by confirming the identity of the user or the site through secure methods, such as passwords, digital certificates, or two-factor authentication. SSL Certificate Errors related to authentication may include mismatched domain names or invalid certificates, preventing secure connections. This prevents phishing attacks and unauthorized access to sensitive data. By ensuring trust and reliability in online interactions, authentication plays a key role in safeguarding personal information and maintaining the integrity of digital communications.

Trust and Credibility:

Trust and credibility are essential in online interactions, and they are reinforced by visible security indicators like the padlock icon and "https://" in the URL. These symbols signify that a website uses secure encryption protocols, protecting user data during transmission. Common Causes of SSL Certificate Errors can also occur when certificates are not trusted by browsers or when the certificate chain is incomplete. They provide reassurance to visitors, fostering confidence in the site's authenticity and safety. By demonstrating a commitment to security, these features encourage users to engage, share personal information, and complete transactions without fear of fraud or data breaches.

SEO Benefits:

Enabling HTTPS not only enhances website security but also provides significant SEO benefits. Search engines like Google prioritize HTTPS-enabled websites, considering them more trustworthy and reliable.SSL Certificate Errors, such as certificate mismatches or missing root certificates, can negatively impact SEO rankings. HTTPS protects user data and improves site performance, which also contributes to better user experiences—an important ranking factor. By adopting HTTPS, websites not only safeguard their visitors but also gain a competitive edge in search engine optimization and online credibility.

Data Integrity:

Data integrity ensures that information remains accurate and unaltered during transmission. By using secure protocols like HTTPS, data sent between a user and a server is protected from tampering or unauthorized modifications. This prevents hackers from injecting malicious code or altering sensitive details, such as financial or personal information.SSL Certificate Errors, like incorrect certificate configurations, can cause interruptions in data integrity, preventing secure transmission. Maintaining data integrity is essential for building trust, ensuring reliable communication, and preserving the authenticity of digital transactions, making it a cornerstone of secure and dependable online interactions.

Compliance:

Compliance with data security regulations is crucial for businesses handling sensitive information. Standards like GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA mandate robust measures to protect personal, financial, and health-related data. Implementing HTTPS and encryption helps organizations meet these requirements by safeguarding information during transmission and preventing unauthorized access. Common Causes of SSL Certificate Errors such as expired or improperly configured certificates can cause compliance issues, leading to potential legal risks. Compliance not only avoids legal penalties but also strengthens customer trust. By aligning with these regulations, businesses demonstrate a commitment to security and privacy, ensuring a safer digital environment for all users.

Improved Conversion Rates:

Improved conversion rates are often a direct result of building customer trust. When a website displays security indicators like HTTPS and a padlock icon, users feel more confident that their personal and financial information is protected.SSL Certificate Errors that disrupt secure connections, like untrusted certificates, can cause customers to abandon their transactions. This sense of security encourages visitors to complete transactions, subscribe to services, or make purchases. As customers become more comfortable navigating the site, their likelihood of converting into paying customers increases, ultimately driving higher sales and fostering long-term business growth.

Cross-Browser Compatibility:

Cross-browser compatibility ensures that secure connections, such as those enabled by HTTPS, function seamlessly across all modern web browsers. Regardless of whether a user is on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, secure protocols maintain data integrity and privacy.SSL Certificate Errors such as incompatible or outdated certificates can hinder browser compatibility, leading to errors or security warnings. This consistency guarantees that visitors can access encrypted websites safely, regardless of their preferred browser, providing a reliable and secure experience. By ensuring compatibility, businesses cater to a wider audience while reinforcing trust in their website’s security across platforms.

Mobile Optimization:

Mobile optimization is crucial for ensuring secure connections on mobile devices. As more users access websites via smartphones and tablets, protecting their data during transmission becomes essential. HTTPS and secure encryption protocols ensure that sensitive information, such as login credentials or payment details, remain safe from hackers, even on mobile networks. Common Causes of SSL Certificate Errors like incomplete certificate chains can impact mobile users’ ability to establish secure connections. A mobile-optimized website with secure connections not only enhances user experience but also builds trust, encouraging visitors to interact confidently, regardless of the device they use.

Customer Assurance:

Customer assurance is key to fostering brand loyalty, and a secure website plays a vital role in this. By displaying security features like HTTPS and a padlock icon, websites signal to users that their safety and privacy are a top priority. Common Causes of SSL Certificate Errors like certificate expiration can erode customer confidence, making them hesitant to share personal information. This builds trust and reassures customers that their personal information is protected. When users feel secure, they are more likely to return, make purchases, and recommend the site, ultimately strengthening brand loyalty and encouraging

What is an SSL Certificate? It keeps you safe online!

I believe that when you browse the web, you often see a "small lock" icon in front of some urls, which represents the website is secure, and the secret behind this is the SSL certificate. So what exactly is an SSL certificate? What does it do?

What is an SSL Certificate?

An SSL certificate, which stands for Secure Sockets Layer Certificate, is a digital certificate used to establish a secure, encrypted connection between a client and a server. In simple terms, SSL certificates allow your data to be transmitted over the network without being stolen or tampered with by hackers, protecting information security.

When you visit a website with an SSL certificate, the browser automatically encrypts the communication with the website in the background, ensuring that the sensitive information you enter (such as passwords, credit card numbers, etc.) will not be intercepted by third parties in transit. This is why more and more websites are adopting SSL certificates to enhance the user's security experience.

How SSL certificates work

The core of an SSL certificate is encryption. When a user visits a website that uses an SSL certificate, the following steps will happen:

1. Browser requests SSL connection: When you access a web address, the browser will first request the SSL certificate of the server.

2. The server sends the certificate: After receiving the request, the server sends its SSL certificate and public key to the browser.

3. The browser verifies the certificate: The browser checks the validity of the certificate. If the certificate is valid, the browser generates a symmetric key, encrypts it with the public key of the server, and sends it to the server.

4. Server decryption key: The server decrypts the symmetric key with its private key, and then the two sides use this symmetric key to encrypt the communication.

With these steps, the data transfer between the user and the server is in a secure and encrypted state, preventing information leakage.

Why use SSL certificates?

1. Protect user privacy: SSL certificates can encrypt sensitive information entered by users on the website to prevent data from being intercepted by third parties.

2. Enhance the credibility of the website: Websites with SSL certificates will display the "small lock" icon in the browser to give users a stronger sense of trust.

3. Search engine Optimization (SEO) bonus: Search engines such as Google make it clear that websites using SSL certificates will have a certain advantage in ranking.

4. Prevent phishing sites: SSL certificates can ensure that users are visiting legitimate websites and not fake phishing sites.

Category of SSL certificates

SSL certificates are classified into the following types based on the authentication level and application scenarios:

1. Domain Name Verification (DV) SSL certificate: only verify the domain name ownership of the website, issued fast, suitable for small websites.

2. Enterprise Verification (OV) SSL certificate: Verify the real identity of the enterprise, suitable for medium-sized enterprise websites.

3. Extended Authentication (EV) SSL certificate: The highest level of authentication, in addition to enterprise authentication, will also be more stringent review, suitable for large enterprises and e-commerce sites.

SSL certificate is one of the basic tools to protect network security, it can not only encrypt data transmission, but also enhance the credibility of the website, and help enterprises establish a good network image.

If you are building your own website or are engaged in cross-border e-commerce business, it is highly recommended to use SSL certificates to protect user data, while working with 711Proxy's high-quality proxy services to ensure network security and speed for a seamless online experience!

It encrypts the data between your browser and the web server. But what exactly is HTTPS, and why is it important for web security? In this article, we will explain what HTTPS is, how it works, what its benefits are, and how to enable it on your website. We will also show you how HTTPS can improve your SEO and user experience. By the end of this article, you will better understand web security. You will also learn how to protect your website and visitors with HTTPS. What is HTTPS and why is it important for web security?  HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. It is the secure version of HTTP, which is the primary protocol used to send data between a web browser and a website. To increase the security of data transfer, HTTPS encrypts data. How does HTTPS work, and what are its benefits?  HTTPS uses an encryption protocol called Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1. Not possible to remove the adverb. This protocol secures communications with an asymmetric public key infrastructure. This means that two keys encrypt and decrypt data. A public key, which anyone can access, and a private key, known only to the website's owner. The benefits of HTTPS are: - It protects the privacy and integrity of data exchanged between the browser and the website. - It stops hackers from stealing or altering sensitive data, like passwords and credit card numbers. - It verifies the website owner's identity. It ensures you are connected to the right server. - It boosts your site's ranking on search engines like Google. They prefer secure sites over insecure ones. What are TLS/SSL certificates, and how do they enable HTTPS? To enable HTTPS on your website, you need to get and install TLS/SSL certificates. These are digital documents. They contain information about your website's identity and public key. Trusted third parties called certificate authorities (CAs) issue them. CAs verify your domain name's ownership and validity. How to get and install TLS/SSL certificates for your website? To get a TLS/SSL certificate for your website, you need to: - Choose a CA that suits your needs and budget. There are different types of certificates with different levels of validation and features. Some examples are DigiCert, Let's Encrypt, Cloudflare SSL, etc. - Generate a certificate signing request (CSR) on your web server. This is a file that contains your domain name and public key. - Submit your CSR to the CA along with some proof of identity and ownership. - Receive your certificate from the CA after it confirms your request. - Install your certificate on your web server according to its instructions. How to test and troubleshoot HTTPS on your website? To test and troubleshoot HTTPS on your website, you can: - Use online tools such as SSL Labs Server Test or Why No Padlock? It is not possible to remove the adverb. - Use Chrome DevTools or Firefox Developer Tools. Inspect network requests and responses for errors or warnings related to HTTPS. - Use extensions like HTTPS Everywhere or Smart HTTPS. They force HTTPS on all websites. Here are some examples of how HTTPS works: HTTP works without encryption. So, anyone can see or change data sent between the user's browser and the website's server. This is how HTTPS works with encryption. Only the user's browser and the website's server can see or change the data sent between them. Here are some screenshots. They show how browsers indicate a site's secure connection. This is how Chrome indicates a secure site with a lock icon. This is how Firefox indicates an insecure site with a warning icon. Here are some code snippets of how to generate a CSR on different web servers: openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout /etc/httpd/conf/example.key -out /etc/httpd/conf/example.csr On Nginx openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout example.key -out example.c Check this video for a more in-depth understanding of https works from renowned expert in the industry: https://youtu.be/7l1cTUz_NGE Conclusion - We covered HTTPS and its importance for web security. - We explained how HTTPS works and its benefits for website owners and visitors. - You also learned about TLS/SSL certificates and how to get and install them. - We discussed testing and fixing HTTPS issues. - We also talked about improving website speed and accessibility. - Finally, we showed that HTTPS boosts SEO and user experience.

Unlocking the Web: How HTTPS Secures Your Online World and Builds Trust

In today’s digital landscape, where every click and tap connects us to vast networks of information, the importance of security cannot be overstated. From personal banking to social media, our online activities are intertwined with sensitive data that needs protection. This is where HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) steps in—a powerful, yet often overlooked, guardian of our digital interactions.

What is HTTPS?

HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), the foundational protocol used by the World Wide Web to transmit data between a web server and a browser. The key difference between HTTP and HTTPS is the “S” at the end, which stands for “Secure.” This seemingly small difference has a significant impact on how data is transmitted, providing a layer of encryption that ensures any data exchanged between the user and the server remains confidential.

Why HTTPS Matters

Imagine you're sending a postcard through the mail. Anyone handling it can read its contents, much like how data sent over HTTP can be intercepted by malicious actors. HTTPS, on the other hand, is like sending that postcard in a sealed, tamper-proof envelope—only the intended recipient can read it.

1. Data Encryption: The Core of HTTPS

One of the primary benefits of HTTPS is its use of encryption. When you connect to a website over HTTPS, your browser and the server exchange cryptographic keys, which are used to encrypt the data being sent. This means that even if a cybercriminal intercepts the data, they won't be able to read or make sense of it without the decryption key.

This encryption is particularly crucial for websites that handle sensitive information, such as credit card details, passwords, or personal identification. By encrypting this data, HTTPS protects users from identity theft, fraud, and other cyber threats.

2. Authentication: Trusting the Right Source

Beyond encryption, HTTPS also provides authentication. When you visit a website with HTTPS, your browser checks the site's SSL/TLS certificate to verify its legitimacy. This certificate acts like a digital passport, confirming that the website is who it claims to be. Without this authentication, users could be tricked into entering their personal information on a fraudulent website that looks identical to the real one.

3. Data Integrity: Ensuring Information Isn't Tampered With

HTTPS also ensures data integrity, meaning the information you send or receive has not been altered in transit. This is achieved through a combination of encryption and hashing techniques that detect if any data has been tampered with. For example, if a hacker tries to modify a transaction request or inject malicious code into a webpage, HTTPS will detect the change and block the transmission.

The Evolution of HTTPS: From Optional to Essential

In the early days of the internet, HTTPS was primarily used by websites that handled financial transactions or personal information. Today, it’s a standard across all types of websites, from small blogs to large e-commerce platforms. This shift was driven by growing awareness of online security threats and the increasing availability of affordable SSL/TLS certificates.

1. Search Engine Rankings

One of the significant catalysts for the widespread adoption of HTTPS was Google's decision to include HTTPS as a ranking factor in its search algorithm. Websites that use HTTPS are now given preference in search results, making it a crucial factor for businesses and content creators who want to maintain visibility and credibility online.

2. Browser Warnings

Modern web browsers, such as Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, now warn users when they visit a website that doesn’t use HTTPS. These warnings, often in the form of a red “Not Secure” label in the URL bar, can deter users from interacting with the site, leading to higher bounce rates and lower trust.

3. Affordable Security

As the demand for HTTPS grew, so did the availability of affordable SSL/TLS certificates. Organizations like Let's Encrypt offer free certificates, making it easier than ever for website owners to implement HTTPS without incurring significant costs.

The Benefits of HTTPS for Website Owners

For website owners, the benefits of implementing HTTPS go beyond security and SEO. Here’s why adopting HTTPS is a positive step for any online presence:

1. Enhanced User Trust and Confidence

When users see the padlock icon in their browser’s address bar, they know they are on a secure and trustworthy site. This visual cue increases their confidence in the website, making them more likely to engage, complete transactions, or share personal information.

2. Compliance with Data Protection Regulations

With global data protection regulations like the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) in Europe and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) in the United States, the need for secure data handling practices is more critical than ever. HTTPS is a vital component of compliance, helping website owners avoid hefty fines and legal issues.

3. Protection Against Phishing Attacks

Phishing attacks, where attackers create fake websites to steal sensitive information, are a significant threat to online users. HTTPS helps protect against these attacks by ensuring that users are connecting to the legitimate site. Many phishing sites don't bother with obtaining SSL/TLS certificates, so the lack of HTTPS is often a red flag for users.

4. Improved Conversion Rates

Security-conscious users are more likely to complete a purchase or sign up for a service if they know their data is protected. By implementing HTTPS, website owners can reduce cart abandonment rates and increase conversions, ultimately boosting their bottom line.

Common Myths About HTTPS

Despite its benefits, some misconceptions about HTTPS still persist. Let’s debunk a few of these myths:

Myth 1: HTTPS Is Only Necessary for E-Commerce Sites

While it’s true that HTTPS is essential for e-commerce sites, it’s not limited to them. Any website that handles user data, whether it’s a contact form, newsletter signup, or login page, should use HTTPS to protect that information.

Myth 2: HTTPS Slows Down Your Website

In the past, there was some truth to this claim, as encryption added a slight overhead to data transmission. However, with advancements in technology, the performance impact of HTTPS is negligible. In fact, HTTP/2, the latest version of the protocol, actually speeds up website loading times, making HTTPS faster than ever.

Myth 3: HTTPS Is Expensive and Complicated to Implement

Thanks to initiatives like Let’s Encrypt, obtaining an SSL/TLS certificate is now free and straightforward. Most web hosting providers offer easy-to-use tools for installing and managing certificates, making the transition to HTTPS a breeze.

The Future of HTTPS

As the internet continues to evolve, so too will the role of HTTPS. The future of online security lies in advanced encryption techniques, robust authentication methods, and a continued commitment to protecting user data.

1. Quantum Computing and HTTPS

One of the emerging challenges in the field of encryption is the advent of quantum computing. While still in its infancy, quantum computing has the potential to break traditional encryption methods. To counter this, researchers are already working on quantum-resistant algorithms that will ensure HTTPS remains secure in the quantum era.

2. Expansion of HTTPS Beyond Websites

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow, the need for secure communication extends beyond traditional websites. HTTPS will play a crucial role in securing data transmitted between IoT devices, protecting everything from smart home systems to connected vehicles.

3. Continuous Improvement in User Experience

The ongoing development of HTTPS standards, such as TLS 1.3, aims to enhance both security and user experience. TLS 1.3, for instance, reduces latency and improves performance, making secure connections faster and more efficient.

Conclusion: Embracing a Secure Future

In conclusion, HTTPS is more than just a protocol—it’s a fundamental building block of a secure and trustworthy internet. By encrypting data, authenticating websites, and ensuring data integrity, HTTPS protects users and businesses alike from the ever-present threats of the digital world.

As we move towards an increasingly interconnected future, the importance of HTTPS will only continue to grow. For website owners, adopting HTTPS is not just a technical upgrade; it’s a commitment to security, trust, and user confidence. For users, the padlock icon in the address bar is a reminder that their data is protected, and their online experience is secure.
