Facebook
has finally added the ability to access the site via a
HTTP Secure
(HTTPS) connection, which should drastically increase security for
users.
HTTPS provides a combination of the
HTTP and
SSL protocols, enabling
encrypted communication between your computer and a
web server. Without
it you’re exposed to sniffing attacks on the network; for example, if
you’re using a public
Wi-Fi to access Facebook via plain HTTP, someone
using the
Firesheep add-on for Firefox can easily retrieve your data. HTTPS makes it a lot harder to do that.
The feature is available as an option on the
Account Settings page. If you don’t see it yet, don’t worry; Facebook will be gradually rolling it out over the next couple of weeks.
