<div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; display: inline !important;">We have a set of materials that ISOC and our community developed in 2020 during the Open Standards Everywhere project
work including both standard webserver configurations (see:<span> </span></span><a href="https://github.com/InternetSociety/ose-documentation" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">https://github.com/InternetSociety/ose-documentation</a><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; display: inline !important;"><span> </span>)
and training material that people can use to harden their HTTPS websites and score 100% on security tests like SSLlabs (although we use<span> </span></span><span dir="ltr" style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Internet.nl</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; display: inline !important;">'s
tests... Now that you'll really like hardenize.com which is where Ivan from SSLlabs left to go start). </span></div>

</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; display: inline !important;">As part of that work, we were able to get many, many ISOC and ISOC Chapter websites to score 100% on those tests but
our largest sites are not fully 100% because they require close coordination with a number of entities including our content distribution network... in short, we have been working to make it to fully 100% but haven't made it yet for all our web properties!</span><br>

Hi Jeff,<br>
<br>
I guess I am too much of a nut and bolts geek. So to all those <br>
delegates on the list.....<br>
<br>
How to improve end to end encryption in your country?<br>
<br>
Today, between 75% <br>
(<a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/ce-httpsdefault">https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/ce-httpsdefault</a>) and 82%
<br>
(<a href="https://letsencrypt.org/stats/#percent-pageloads">https://letsencrypt.org/stats/#percent-pageloads</a>) of all web sites
<br>
worldwide use https which is the encrypted protocol for http. How can <br>
we help increase that number?<br>
<br>
Welcome to the site: <a href="https://whynohttps.com/">https://whynohttps.com/</a> which documents those sites
<br>
that don’t automatically redirect http requests to an https server. Not <br>
all data listed is 100% accurate but most of it is. Underneath the <br>
initial list is data per country. Just click on the flag icon to see <br>
http sites for your country. Here is where you come in. If you <br>
recognize a site – drop them an email and ask them why they don’t use <br>
encrypted http also known as https?<br>
<br>
The next stage is to improve the encryption used by https sites. The <br>
protocol known as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer – now known as TLS - <br>
Transport Layer Security) has undergone dozens of changes over the past <br>
25 years. But there is a site that can analyze any site and to <br>
determine whether it complies with all the latest encryption protocols: <br>
<a href="https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest">https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest</a><br>
<br>
Just type in your site and click “Submit”. Anything less than an “A” <br>
rating means the encryption used is not perfect. For example, numerous <br>
sites still support TLS 1.0 even though it was deprecated as not being <br>
secure <br>
(<a href="https://www.venafi.com/blog/why-its-dangerous-use-outdated-tls-security-protocols">https://www.venafi.com/blog/why-its-dangerous-use-outdated-tls-security-protocols</a>).
<br>
Once you identify a site with less than an “A” rating, contact them and <br>
inform them that their encryption needs to be improved.<br>
There you have it: two easy steps that everyone can do to help create a <br>
more secure Internet.<br>
<br>
<br>
