All traffic through Yahoo data centers will be encrypted by default. They will be implementing security measures like HSTS and Certificate Transparency + support for TLS 1.2, 2048-bit RSA keys and Perfect Forward Secrecy.
- yeukhon 13y agoFrom an article: Yahoo has also turned on HTTPS encryption on its home page, search queries that run on the home page and most of its properties. Yahoo supports TLS 1.2, Perfect Forward Secrecy and 2048-bit RSA encryption for its home page, mail and digital magazines, Stamos said. He added that users can initiate encrypted sessions for Yahoo News, Sports, Finance and Good Morning America on Yahoo by typing HTTPS in the URL. He also promised an encrypted version of Yahoo Messenger in the coming months. I don't think OP is looking for PFS. I think he's looking for perfect encryption end-to-end so only he can decrypt the content, which means Yahoo will only receive an encrypted payload which Yahoo! cannot decrypt.

Although I don't believe that you can make something that you can't break down or recover in the future, but you never know; it has affected their business, and a serious fix is required. 2. PFS is only for public-key protection, not ciphers. 3. Quantum computers that solve discrete logarithm problems very fast, can and will nearly break anything (http://goo.gl/IukwL3 http://goo.gl/IukwL3) 4.
