Let’s Encrypt – Is your website secure?
I was searching for a good and free TLS certificate which is signed by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). A CA is an organization for issuing digital certificates. You need to have a Certificate Authority when you want to use HTTPS, secure HTTP web server connections. You know; when you visit a secure web-page (https://) and you will see a green lock-icon in your web-browser. This icon indicates that you have an encrypted connection with this website.
In this article I will explain how TLS certification requests normally works and how Let’s Encrypt works. Let’s Encrypt is a Certificate Authority, who provides free and trusted domain certificates. Eventually, I explain how to setup Let’s Encrypt yourself using Nginx webserver.
