The Electronic Frontier Foundation announced that the Lets Encrypt Certificate Authority issued its millionth certificate. The principal goal is to create a more secure web by encrypting website traffic using Transport Layer Security (TLS) and improve users privacy online. Mozilla, Cisco, Akamai, Automattic and IdenTrust joined the initiative with the support of the Linux Foundation. The Let’s Encrypt initiative aims to overwhelm these issues by issuing free digital certificates and by automating each phase of the lifecycle of a digital certificate.”]
