The past year has seen a tremendous amount of change and turbulence in the security and privacy communities. Security and privacy advocates have been pressuring major Internet providers to encrypt. Google, Yahoo and others have responded by starting or accelerating plans to encrypt the links between data centers. Google’s new Gmail encryption report shows that on Jan. 1, 2014, just 33 percent of the emails leaving Gmail were encrypted. By the end of May, that number had climbed to 69 percent of emails leaving Google s servers.
