安全和隐私已成为互联网通信的主要问题。为了防止窃听和篡改，许多互联网协议都依赖传输安全层（TLS）。在本文中，我们的目标是使用在日本骨干和边缘学术网络上捕获的被动流量跟踪来量化 TLS 的采用。我们通过十年来的流量数据监控五种常见协议及其 TLS 变体的演变。我们发现，HTTP 中的 TLS 的采用真正开始于 2012 年左右，而 IMAP 流量在过去十年中大部分都是加密的。 HTTPS 的部署主要由大型内容提供商推动，将剩余的 HTTP 流量迁移到 HTTPS 可能需要付出巨大的努力，因为它涉及许多较小的服务。
Security and privacy have become major concerns for Internet communications. In order to prevent eavesdropping and tampering a lot of Internet protocols rely the Transport Security Layer (TLS). In this paper we aim to quantify the adoption of TLS using passive traffic traces captured on a backbone and edge academic network in Japan. We monitor the evolution of five common protocols and their TLS-variants over ten years of traffic data. We found that the adoption of TLS for HTTP really started around 2012, while IMAP traffic is mostly encrypted for the last ten years. The deployment of HTTPS is mainly driven by large content providers and migrating the remaining HTTP traffic to HTTPS might require significant efforts as it concerns numerous smaller services.
