Hotmail gets secure HTTPS alternative

Microsoft has started offering Hotmail clients the alternative to turn on HTTPS security 

Microsoft on Tuesday started offering clients the alternative to anchor their Hotmail sessions with HTTPS information encryption.

While the Hotmail sign-in process has been anchored utilizing SSL, the exchange of email wasn't, Microsoft said.

To empower the security highlight, clients visit their record settings page. When clients empower HTTPS, the majority of their future associations with Hotmail will be conveyed over SSL, composed Dick Craddock, amass program director for Windows Live Hotmail, in a blog entry about the component.

He likewise said that the SkyDrive, Photos, Docs and Devices pages currently naturally utilize SSL encryption.

A few people started seeing the HTTPS choice for Hotmail a couple of days back.

Microsoft pursues Google by years in offering the protected alternative. In mid-2008, Google originally begun offering Gmail clients the choice to utilize secure associations. Prior this year, following assaults on Google starting in China that included hacking into Gmail records of China human rights activists, Google turned on HTTPS for all Gmail clients as a matter of course.
