Some services, such as Google Talk, offer the ability for users to connect to the service using an HTTPS connection.
HTTPS allows data to be transmitted in encrypted form, preventing eavesdroppers from reading the data. While this
transport security is important, it does not offer full privacy because each communique is stored unencrypted and mined
for data by Google. In addition, an HTTPS connection with Google does not guarantee that the other chat party is connected to Google with an HTTPS connection.We asked a set of questions to gauge the respondent’s awareness of privacy and security issues.
