A full 80 percent of Android apps are encrypting their traffic by default, according to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) adoption update from Google.
That percentage is even greater for apps targeting Android 9 and higher, with 90 percent of those encrypting traffic by default, the tech giant said on Tuesday.
TLS is a cryptographic protocol standard ratified by the Internet Engineering Task Force that provides end-to-end communications security over networks by scrambling data in transit, preventing hackers from reading it, intercepting it or tampering with it.
