The Let's Encrypt has announced that its free security certificates are now trusted by all major proletterthe tours. All indications are that the organization's mission to offer free HTTPS encryption to all websites is one step closer to reality.
The Let's Encrypt is an open certificate authority run by Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) and sponsored by Mozilla and Automattic. It aims to equip legitimate websites of all sizes and functions with SSL/TLS certificates, which help browsers accept and serve encrypted data to secure user activities and transactions from eavesdropping.
Their first certificate was issued in September and has now received signatures from the SSL certificate provider IdenTrust.
Let's Encrypt will now start issuing certificates in November. This move will help websites adopt HTTPS encryption and rank higher in Google search results.
