Google has announced a new security system called Forward secrecyse, designed to protect user data against attacks on its services retroactively. With this system, which already works with Google Docs and Gmail, the company improves the encrypted HTTPS connections to prevent hackers in the future to access current information.
Google's mission is to protect Secrecyse with Forward data from users on their services now and in the future. Currently, the HTTPS connection system can access the information securely through which access is encrypted. However, Google was concerned that hackers could get to decipher the encryption in a few years with new technologies and an attack retroactively to current information.
To avoid this, the company announced Secrecyse Forward. This is a security system based on the use of different private keys to encrypt each users' connection to their services. In this way, each connection has a password, which is cleared periodically. With this mechanism, Google reinforces the security of HTTPS connections are secure in the future and to ensure that information is not vulnerable to future attacks.
Google has explained with an example the new security system. The company has said that right now, hackers could gain an encrypted email, secure, she now could not access their security mechanisms. However, in the future, possibly have a new tool to undermine their security and so you can get information to compromise the security of further mailings. Forward Secrecyse With this no longer happen because each multiple encryption is going to change over time.
For the moment, further strengthening of security and is available in several Google services including Gmail, Google Docs, which by their nature may be more prone to the interest of hackers. However, the company has confirmed that this technology is expected to extend between their services and become popular as has happened with the system HTTPS.
Forward To Secrecyse work, Google has used an extension of OpenSSL, which is published for extending its use. The company also warned that the new system at the moment can only be used with FireFox and Chrome, and some versions of Internet Explorer.
