HTTPS (Score: 2, Insightful) by bryan@pipedot.org on 2014-10-28 17:57 (#2TRF) Yet another reason to use HTTPS everywhere. Re: HTTPS (Score: 1) by tanuki64@pipedot.org on 2014-10-28 18:33 (#2TRH) Does https help? The content is encrypted, true, but does this protocol prevent the provider from putting an envelope around it so the receiver still can identify the sender? I never had an interest how https works on a low level. Perhaps I should look into it. Re: HTTPS (Score: 1) by zenbi@pipedot.org on 2014-10-28 21:37 (#2TRK) Yes. Using HTTPS will prevent Verizon from injecting foreign content into your traffic. A.K.A. "Man in the middle" attacks.
