What a weird semantic game. It is about encryption. Without it you wouldn't be able to "[establish] a degree of trust in a site’s legitimacy that’s sufficient for you to confidently transmit and receive data with the knowledge that it’s reaching its intended destination without being intercepted or manipulated in the process"

I've learned to completely ignore the title of any article I see on HN. A disproportionate number of them simply use titles as a way to grab attention. This article is typical of the pattern - the title is used only as part of a few sentences at the start of the text, then its completely ignored and the real article begins.
I've noticed that ignoring the title often helps me to really evaluate what an article is saying independent of the bias (and frustration) that a bad title creates.
