EFF and Mozilla join forces to encrypt the entire web by giving away free HTTPS certs
2014-11-19 16:23:10| Extremetech
Starting in 2015, everyone will be able to get their hands on a free, officially sanctioned SSL/TLS certificate so that HTTPS can finally be enabled everywhere. The new service -- a certificate authority (CA) called Let's Encrypt -- is led by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Mozilla, and the University of Michigan, with Cisco and Akamai joining as major launch partners. If you don't know much about SSL, TLS, and HTTPS, trust me when I say that this is a very big deal.
