Securing the Internet is no easy task but Google researchers think they have taken a step closer this week with a program called SSL False Start that decreases the load time of SSL connections up to 30%.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a certification that encrypts data between an end-users’ browser and the server. It is a headache to implement and increases connection latency and only a few of the major sites on the Web have instituted “always on” SSL/TLS protection on top of HTTP to create the more secure HTTPS. While SSL False Start is a good step in creating a safer Internet, it is not the cure for all SSL woes. But, it does look like a step in the right direction.
