I don't understand the question.
Who decided that we needed to migrate to HTTPs everywhere? Or that authentication for online bank accounts needed to be encrypted?
As cracking of traditional encryption becomes an obvious problem, systems will be upgraded or people will vote with their feet.
- h3cate 5y agoWell HTTPS isn't used everywhere and governments have decided that banks need to meet an extremely strict set of rules to operate. As much as we'd like to think of the internet as the wild west, it is not.
- TZubiri 5y agoHTTPS is used almost everywhere. And it's not like a government decrees something and it's done. Laws involve multiple stakeholders, and there are multiple governments which converge on the same decision. It is correct to state that security best practices are not decided by one entity but rather figured out organically and on a non centralized basis.
