How an authoritarian regime will intercept all internet traffic inside its country
The man in the middle: Beginning last week, Kazakhstan's government is intercepting all HTTPS traffic inside the country, ZDNet reports. HTTPS is a protocol meant to offer encryption, security, and privacy to users, but now the nation's internet service providers are forcing all users to install certificates that enable pervasive interception and surveillance.
On Wednesday, Kazakh internet users were redirected to web pages in- structing them to install the government's root certificate in their web browser, which enables what's called "man in the middle" inter- ception of internet traffic, decryption, and surveillance.
