kjordan2001 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hopefully this gets good support in browsers and operating systems with the CA automatically included. There have been other ones that try to be a free CA, but it's usually a manual import of their certificate to get it going without warnings. At least Firefox will support it given that Mozilla is on it. Maybe since Akamai is on it Microsoft will give it support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there are big players and as you mentioned Akamai it will pick up some steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted November 20, 2014 MVC Share Posted November 20, 2014 There is already http://www.cacert.org/ where you can get certs for free, problem is they are not trusted CA, so has to be added. If they get all the major browsers to trust them out of the box, then yes that will be make using certs that much easier!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get all the major browsers to trust them out of the box, then yes that will be make using certs that much easier!! The best current option is https://www.startssl.com/ when it comes to free, but widely trusted, certs. They still have some issues that make dealing with them more of a challenge than needed and they haven't changed at all in all of the years I have used them (5+ years). This new solution seems like a much needed boost in this area. With Mozilla and Cisco behind this effort I feel it will get some traction. Having it in FF alone should enable some pressure getting it into Chrome and IE. I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

episode Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 With Google now valuing SSL in terms of SEO rank, this is something that is badly needed. Hopefully it launches and is recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
