Did you wish that no body else sees the information when you search Google next time. Well! You are not alone.
As people spend more time on the Internet, they do not like being accessed.
We are already aware of information encryption being used by banking and ecommerce sites. It is usually recognized by a web address starting with “https” or a browser lock icon.
Gmail users would be aware of encryption it has.
The Google is gradually securing https://www.google.com too.
This secured channel helps protect your search terms and your search results pages from being intercepted by a third party on your network. The service includes a modified logo to help indicate that you’re searching using SSL.
The service is still in beta.
Image Search and Maps are not covered by this feature as of now.
Sincece SSL connections require additional time to set up the encryption between your browser and the remote web server, it may take more time when searching a query.
What does this mean?
This means third parties would not have access to the search data. However, your data still lies with Google as usual.
This ignites many thoughts in my mind. There are many services based on the information on Google.
What would happen to those?
