It wasn’t that long ago that most websites weren’t secured with Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. You could tell because the sites started with HTTP instead of HTTPS. Today, 81% of web pages use HTTPS globally, and 91% are secured in the US. For that vast increase in secure web browsing, we owe a large debt of gratitude to Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) with its Let’s Encrypt project. Let’s Encrypt has just issued its billionth web security certificate.
