Google just announced that it is rolling out a new beta feature that will allow users to enable Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption when using Google's Web search. Currently, whenever you search on Google, your search data is not encrypted and anybody with enough interest in getting this data can do so by listening in on your connection. Now, Google will use the same encryption methods that banks on e-commerce sites use to prevent others from snooping on your searches as your data moves between your browser and Google's servers.

谷歌剛剛宣布，它即將推出一個(gè)新的測(cè)試版功能，用戶(hù)在使用谷歌網(wǎng)絡(luò)搜索引擎時(shí)，會(huì)對(duì)搜索數(shù)據(jù)啟用安全套接層 (SSL)加密技術(shù)。目前的谷歌搜索中，你的搜索數(shù)據(jù)毫無(wú)隱秘可言，但凡有人想要洞悉這些數(shù)據(jù)，只需偷偷監(jiān)聽(tīng)你的連接，你的諸般作為立刻昭然若揭?，F(xiàn)在好了，谷歌將采用與電子商務(wù)網(wǎng)站銀行同樣的加密方式，這樣一來(lái)，數(shù)據(jù)在瀏覽器與谷歌服務(wù)器間互通往來(lái)之時(shí)，你再也不用擔(dān)心哪個(gè)家伙暗中窺探你了。

Google's move towards encrypting your data as it moves between your browser and Google's servers means that it will be very hard to hackers and governments to spy on your searches. Google added secure connections to Gmail and Google Docs quite a while ago and made SSL the default setting for all Gmail users earlier this year.

谷歌即將推出的此種數(shù)據(jù)加密方式，將為網(wǎng)絡(luò)黑客和政府設(shè)置下層層障礙，沒(méi)有誰(shuí)再可以輕而易舉的掌握你的動(dòng)態(tài)。其實(shí)谷歌早就對(duì)Gmail和Google Docs添加了安全連接，并且就在年初使SSL成為了Gmail用戶(hù)的默認(rèn)設(shè)置 協(xié)議。

Using Secure Search

使用安全搜索

To access this new feature, head to . Google, however, is only rolling this feature out slowly, so it might not be available for you yet. It's also important to point out that this secure connection is only available for the main Google Search page right now. Searches on Google Maps and Image Search are not encrypted at this time and links to these unencrypted services won't appear on the secure Google Search site.

要使用此功能的話，目前你還只能先使用嘗嘗鮮。穩(wěn)重的谷歌還是希望此功能平穩(wěn)過(guò)渡，所以在正經(jīng)八百的谷歌上，你還無(wú)法使用該功能。另外，當(dāng)下的安全連接僅針對(duì)的只是谷歌主搜索頁(yè)面。而眼下對(duì)谷歌 “地圖”和谷歌“圖片”這樣的搜索界面，還未啟用加密功能索，搜索引擎上也沒(méi)有這些未加密服務(wù)的鏈接。

It is worth noting that Google itself just got into hot water by "accidentally" gathering data from on unencrypted Wi-Fi connections while collecting WiFi data for StreetView and its geolocation API. Google itself, of course, will still collect data about your search history and use it to personalize its own ads and services accordingly.

尤其值的一提的是，谷歌剛剛自己淌入了侵犯隱私的渾水之中，在為其街景(StreetView)項(xiàng)目和Geolocation API收集WIFI數(shù)據(jù)時(shí)，谷歌“偶然間”收集了未加密的Wi-Fi連接上的數(shù)據(jù)，從而導(dǎo)致了軒然大波。當(dāng)然，就谷歌本身來(lái)說(shuō)，還會(huì)一如既往地收集用戶(hù)的搜索歷史數(shù)據(jù)，用以使它的廣告及相應(yīng)服務(wù)更加人性化。
