Some takeaways

• More than just encryption, we need SSL for authentication and data integrity
• One insecure connection may not amount to much, but many can tell someone a lot about you
• Makes sure that you are communicating with the right server, not a malicious look-alike
• Attackers can’t: listen in, impersonate a site, or tamper with data
• Certificates are relatively inexpensive and there are even free services coming online
• Proper TLS configuration can equal fewer handshakes, fewer sockets, fewer buffers and faster page load times with less server load
• Make sure that you do your due diligence when converting from HTTP to HTTPS
