Let's Encrypt has been trusted by all mainstream browsers

Let's Encrypt, a non-profit organization that enables each website to Use HTTPS encryption, has obtained the cross signature of IdenTrust, which means that its certificate can now be trusted by all mainstream browsers. Starting from this milestone, visitors can access websites that use the Let's Encrypt certificate without special configuration to get HTTPS security protection.

Let's Encrypt's two intermediate certificates Let's Encrypt Authority X1 and Let's Encrypt Authority X2 get a cross signature. The Web server needs to configure a cross signature in the certificate chain, and the client automatically handles everything else.

Now you can try the server where the certificate is issued by using the new cross-Signed intermediate certificate.

More and more important individuals and business information are being transmitted over the Internet, and their encryption needs are becoming increasingly urgent. This is the purpose of creating Let's Encrypt. This step will bring secure connections to every corner of the web world.

The Let's Encrypt project is supported by Mozilla, Cisco, Akamai, IdenTrust, EFF, and other organizations, hosted by the Linux Foundation. It issued its first certificate in middle September and plans to open the free signature service to the public in November 16.
