HTTPS: How it protects browser users on the Internet today
----------------------------------------------------------

By Bill Hess on 8 July 2020

What does that little lock next to the HTTPS on your browser mean,
anyway? This post explores a number of tools that ensure you are
only accessing HTTPS web pages on websites, including HTTPS Everywhere,
Tor Browser and other forms of encryption.

IPv6 and the DNS
----------------

By Geoff Huston on 17 July 2020

In the long term, IPv6 is not intended to sit alongside IPv4 in a
dual-stack situation as the end objective. Someday, the goal will
be to shift to IPv6 only systems. 'Happy Eyeballs' should preference
IPv6, leading to a gradual phase out of IPv4. But experiments on the
DNS show it won't necessarily be this simple.

A first look at the misuse and abuse of the IPv4 transfer market
----------------------------------------------------------------

By Vasileios Giotsas on 21 July 2020

There are various ways that IPv4 transfer markets can be exploited.
A recent study found disproportionately high malicious activity and
blacklisting was occurring on prefixes transferred on the secondary
market.
