Security News > 2020 > June > U.S. Pushes for HTTPS on .gov Domains

Gov domains over encrypted connections, and this week laid out plans to preload the entire top-level domain.

Gov domains have yet to adopt the secure HTTPS protocol, which protects their visitors against eavesdropping.

Gov domains still lack support for encrypted connections.

Gov domains have been preloaded since May 2017, and other newly registered.

Gov domains will be automatically preloaded, which would allow DotGov and the involved parties to focus on implementing encryption for existing domains.
