How to: Secure Gmail, Google Documents, and more by using https (SSL – or Secure Socket Layer)
An easy way to secure your internet activity is to use https:// instead of http:// before the URL address. Doing this encrypts your session with SSL, making it a bit more secure. Many, but not all sites support this.
A few known ones:
Gmail
Google Reader
Google Docs
Google Calendar
Google Homepage (somewhat)
Now just update your bookmarks to go to these directly.
