Certificates Let's Encrypt found official support

In a blog post dated October 19, the executive director of Let's Encrypt organization Josh Aas [Josh Aas] announced that her certificates had received signatures from the IdenTrust consortium. This means that now the certificates of Let's Encrypt will be automatically trusted by all major browsers.

Both intermediate certificates, Let's Encrypt Authority X1 and Let's Encrypt Authority X2, received signatures. The project organizers have released a utility that will automatically configure support for these certificates in the system. You can make sure that these certificates are supported in your browser on a site specially prepared for this purpose .

Let's Encrypt is a non-profit project that was launched last year and set as its goal to provide all interested domain owners with free SSL certificates. From the moment of its official launch, any administrator will be able to obtain a certificate and configure its support on its server using an automatic utility (the “letsencrypt run” command will set everything up independently if your server is Apache or nginx). They organized the project Electronic Frontier Foundation, Mozilla, Cisco Systems and Akamai. The first trial certificate was issued in September .

Having received the certificate, the site owner will be able to fully transfer it to work using the HTTPS protocol, which, according to the plan of the project organizers, will help improve security and privacy on the Internet. The protocol, on the one hand, provides data encryption between the client and the server, and on the other hand, confirms that the site belongs to the domain owner.
