Encrypt the Web
-
0:04 - 0:07This is the internet, and it's
-
0:07 - 0:08filled with unencrypted data.
-
0:09 - 0:10Data that can be targeted
-
0:10 - 0:12by all kinds of eavesdroppers.
-
0:13 - 0:15All i need is Wi-Fi and some software
-
0:15 - 0:19and I can see everything you're up to.
-
0:20 - 0:22The EFF has been protecting your privacy
-
0:22 - 0:24online for over 25 years.
-
0:24 - 0:27And now, their goal is to encrypt the web -
-
0:27 - 0:29the whole thing - switch every site from
-
0:29 - 0:34insecure HTTP to secure HTTPS.
-
0:34 - 0:36That S makes all the difference.
-
0:37 - 0:38(whispering) It's for secure.
-
0:40 - 0:42The lock lets you know
-
0:42 - 0:43your session is safe.
-
0:43 - 0:45Here's the problem: not every site
-
0:45 - 0:48supports encryption yet. But the EFF has
-
0:48 - 0:50you covered with two powerful tools.
-
0:50 - 0:53The first is HTTPS Everywhere.
-
0:53 - 0:55It's a plugin for browsers
-
0:55 - 0:56like Chrome and Firefox.
-
0:56 - 0:58It encrypts your communication
-
0:58 - 1:00with most major websites
-
1:00 - 1:02so they can't spy on you.
-
1:04 - 1:06The second tool is Certbot.
-
1:06 - 1:07If you run your own site
-
1:07 - 1:09you can easily secure it
-
1:09 - 1:10with an SSL certificate.
-
1:10 - 1:12That used to be a huge
-
1:12 - 1:14expensive hassle, but Certbot
-
1:14 - 1:16simplifies and automates the whole thing.
-
1:16 - 1:18And it costs zero dollars.
-
1:19 - 1:21And that's just the beginning.
-

-
1:23 - 1:25protecting your rights online
