Building a more secure and privacy-respecting Internet for everyone.
About us
Let’s Encrypt is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit. It is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). We give people the digital certificates they need in order to enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS) for websites, for free, in the most user-friendly way we can. We do this because we want to create a more secure and privacy-respecting Web. The key principles behind Let’s Encrypt are: Free: Anyone who owns a domain name can use Let’s Encrypt to obtain a trusted certificate at zero cost. Automatic: Software running on a web server can interact with Let’s Encrypt to painlessly obtain a certificate, securely configure it for use, and automatically take care of renewal. Secure: Let’s Encrypt will serve as a platform for advancing TLS security best practices, both on the CA side and by helping site operators properly secure their servers. Transparent: All certificates issued or revoked will be publicly recorded and available for anyone to inspect. Open: The automatic issuance and renewal protocol will be published as an open standard that others can adopt. Cooperative: Much like the underlying Internet protocols themselves, Let’s Encrypt is a joint effort to benefit the community, beyond the control of any one organization.

Shopify is a longtime user of Let’s Encrypt certificates, leveraging them at scale for their customers’ merchant websites. Nick Silverman, a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, shared how Shopify recently added support for ARI (ACME Renewal Info) to the Ruby Gem ACME client. In his words: "Since enabling the use of the ARI extension, our certificate management system has become significantly more robust. Shopify now delegates the responsibility of determining renewal timing to Let’s Encrypt. The ARI extension has proven to be an impactful infrastructure improvement and the benefits gained are immediate. These benefits, alongside fewer manual interventions, are the operational success story: Future-proofing: We gained resilience against any future certificate lifetime changes and mass revocation events without needing code updates—ensuring our renewal logic is flexible. Optimized load: We directly benefit from the CA’s coordinated load balancing provided by the suggested renewal window, eliminating local randomness issues and the need for complex global coordination. Revocation readiness: ARI allows systems to quickly detect and respond to revocation events when an urgent renewal is necessary, well before certificates get close to their due dates. Simple implementation: The extension is mature (RFC 9773) and the implementation is straightforward, providing simplified renewal logic and CA-optimized timing. Good citizenship: Anyone using ARI helps the CA optimize its infrastructure, and contributes to better aggregate behavior across the entire ecosystem." Read the full post: https://lnkd.in/gTByZrYp

Let’s Encrypt is transitioning to shorter certificate lifetimes (moving from 90 days to 64, then 45) over the next two years. The best part? No changes are needed to your rate limits. While this will double daily renewal requests, renewals remain exempt from standard limits. Get the full details on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gFs3vsrY #security #PKI
