Recently we decided to only allow access to the
Encryptomatic.com website over a secure https connection. There did not seem to be any good reason not to do this. The server overhead is minimal, and the certificates are not particularly expensive or difficult to obtain. The risks to privacy, demonstrating a commitment to protecting your privacy, and supporting the idea of a private internet browsing experience outweighed any small inconvenience or cost that we may incur.
We have arranged our cipher suite ordering so that our server will attempt to connect to your web browser using the strongest ciphers available and with Perfect Forward Secrecy. You can see how our website performed at
SSL Labs, and also test the
security of your own browser.
We've also decided to drop support for the problematic
RC4 cipher suite. A jury
recently upheld a company's claim to a patent for using the RC4 cipher
with TLS. Removing support for RC4 should only cause issues for people who are using very
old web browsers, and it's long past time they upgraded.

We apologize that this blog is temporarily unencrypted. We have for some
time hosted the blog at Blogger. Sadly, Blogger has chosen not to provide https
access to the sites it hosts. We're working to address this in the short term.
We appreciate you visiting our company online, and we want you to know that we take your privacy and security very seriously.
