One year of SSL internet measurement
Olivier Levillain, Arnaud Ébalard, Benjamin M. Morin, Hervé Debar · 2012
Over the years, SSL/TLS has become an essential part of internet security. As such, it should offer robust and state-of-the-art security, in particular for HTTPS, its first application. Theoretically, the protocol allows for a trade-off between secure algorithms and decent performance. Yet in practice, servers do not always support the latest version of the protocol, nor do they all enforce strong cryptographic algorithms.
