Digital divide widens as the Web adopts stronger encryption standard - CSMonitor.com

Digital divide widens as the Web adopts stronger encryption standard - CSMonitor.com: "Web browsers that haven't been updated in the past few years or older generations of many mobile devices, which are commonplace in much of the developing world, will be unable to use the updated encryption standard. That means that many of those users will lose access to online functions protected by the Web protocol called Secure HTTP, or HTTPS."



" Somewhere between 3 and 7 percent of Web browsers in use around the world cannot use the newer HTTPS standard, according to Facebook."
