The Internet has adapted to encryption at a breakneck speed. Multiple studies indicate a rapid increase of encrypted Internet traffic. Sandvine came out with a paper during February 2016 stating that 70% of the Internet traffic would be encrypted by that year’s end. By mid-2017, we can only predict that the percentage is much higher than 70%.

Device Authority’s Beginners’ Guide to Encryption is designed to help you understand the basics of how encryption works, why it matters, and what challenges are facing encryption in the new landscape of the Internet of Things (IoT).
