Let's Encrypt

Sorry, (e:strip) ((e:terry) too), I've been working too much ((e:Paul) too)

For the last couple months I've been awaiting this new tool called "Let's Encrypt" to come out. Basically it allows you to generate valid SSL certs for free, that are trusted by must make browsers. it's backed by Mozilla. You run their open source client (or implement your own based on the spec) which exchanges keys, serves up a file with a nonce, and validates your domain. Some big certificate authority is going to cross validate their certs, and its public starting in November.

I can't wait to use it and not have to worry about paying for a cert.
It doesn't offer extended validation or insurance or anything, but its still very awesome. Too bad the NSA (and others) are still probably listening in already ;)
