Google has introduced encrypted search which gives user the option to use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to prevent packet whiffing.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology is formulated to protect from illegitimate groups from whiffing data traveling between a user’s computer and a server.
The service also uses its own Google logo, so you can be sure that SSL is there.
When users search from the URL https://www.google.com, the SSL creates an encrypted connection between the user’s browser and Google to better shield user’s search terms.
When you search using SSL, you won’t see links to offerings like Image Search and Maps that, for the most part, don’t support SSL at this time, the post continues.
SSL connections require additional time to set up the encryption between your browser and the remote web server, your experience with search over SSL might be slightly slower than your regular Google search experience.
Benefit is that searches can’t be intercepted & are not archived in history and won’t appear in the autofill during a subsequent search.
