Recently the FSF's application to Let's Encrypt's Limited Beta program was accepted. For
those of you who have not been following, the project Let's Encrypt is a non-profit
Certificate Authority (CA) run by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). The IRSG,
founded in 2013, is comprised of board members from various places, including but not
limited to: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and Mozilla. The main drive behind
Let's Encrypt is to make the process of getting X.509 certificates for Transport Layer
Security (TLS) encryption a trivial process, as well as cost-free. In addition, Let's
Encrypt aims to make all this available using only Free as in Freedom software for both
their server and client infrastructure.
