A platform for implementing modern security techniques and best practices.
Our global Cyber Awareness
System focuses now on Let’s Encrypt, a
new free certificate authority.
It is exciting and encouraging
to talk about making TLS Everywhere a reality. As you know or you can imagine,
the stakes surrounding our personal and business information are more and more critical, as
we ,definitely, move in a digital world.
Threats and attacks are more
and more sophisticated and various; this means inter alia that, encrypting is something all of us should be
doing.
Thanks to Let’s Encrypt who aims to let everyone be up and running with basic server
certificates for their domains through a simple one-click process.
Connectikpeople.co, soon #Retinknow recalls that, the key principles behind
Let’s Encrypt are:
- Free: Anyone who owns a domain can get a certificate validated for that domain at zero cost.
- Automatic: The entire enrollment process for certificates occurs painlessly during the server’s native installation or configuration process, while renewal occurs automatically in the background.
- Secure: Let’s Encrypt will serve as a platform for implementing modern security techniques and best practices.
- Transparent: All records of certificate issuance and revocation will be available to anyone who wishes to inspect them.
- Open: The automated issuance and renewal protocol will be an open standard and as much of the software as possible will be open source.
- Cooperative: Much like the underlying Internet protocols themselves, Let’s Encrypt is a joint effort to benefit the entire community, beyond the control of any one organization.
This new infrastructure will be available in Q2 2015.
