Blind cache : A solution to content delivery challenges in an all-encrypted web

• As the internet has shifted from an informal network for information sharing among universities and scientific institutes to a fundament of modern commerce, the traffic it carries has also shifted from short message exchanges to massive files encrypted for protection. At one time, the use of the secure communication protocol https tended to be limited to applications such as internet banking and online shopping. By the end of 2016, however, 70 percent of web traffic will use https [1]. Encryption is likely to become mandatory everywhere as the rise in pervasive surveillance has changed public perception on privacy and internet security, which has in turn prompted internet content providers to adopt https to protect consumers' content consumption data. The shift to pervasive encryption brings many benefits, but it also presents significant challenges for network service providers (such as mobile network operators and internet service providers) - particularly when it comes to caching content in their networks.
