11/2015 - Let’s Encrypt with SSL-Certificates free of charge for everyone will start soon

As of December 3rd 2015, the Certificate Authority (CA) will initiate the Public Beta Phase of the tool Let’s Encrypt, offering complimentary SSL-Certificates which are then classified by the web browsers as being trustworthy. The protocol and the client are both based on Open Source solutions. The configuration of the server will become easier than ever before with the help of this tool: Let’s Encrypt just has to be started on your computer to issue such a certificate and to teach your server SSL. The tool contacts the CA in order to request for an SSL-Certificate of a specific domain. As soon as the CA has the proof that the server is really operating via the domain (domain validation), the tool obtains the verified certificate and is even able to configure the server for SSL if requested. Behind Let’s Encrypt are well known names such as Mozilla, Cisco, the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Akamai which formed and participate in an Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). The aim of this group is to standardise encrypted https-connections and addresses in order to ensure the security of data on the Internet. In addition to that, the CA has developed a new protocol (ACME) which is able to issue validated certificates automatically. Nevertheless, the tool is still in progress. However, with the solutions provided by aixzellent you will already now receive a certificate as a standard feature with all our packages!
