25 Years of SSL - Secure(ish) Sockets Layer
summary
Timeline from 1994 to now with concrete pivots: SSLv2 lasted three months then SSLv3 survives ~20 years until POODLE in 2015, TLS 1.0 is basically a 3.1 rebrand, TLS 1.2 (2008) drives mass adoption because of measurable performance gains, and TLS 1.3 standardized in 2018 makes a fundamental protocol change. LetsEncrypt and Comodo make certificates trivial (phishers get HTTPS too). Browsers flip UI (Chrome 67 adds “not secure”, SSL Labs and crawler.ninja are usable diagnostic tools; Firefox shows ~90% encrypted page loads while only ~10–14% of sites once ran HTTPS.
