The big question:

- bifurcation 11y agoIn a word, yes. When a server uses a Let's Encrypt certificate, a browser will consider it as issued under an IdenTrust root CA, which the browser trusts. So it will consider the Let's Encrypt certificate trusted.
- callahad 11y agoIt means certs signed by Let's Encrypt will work just fine for people without any special setup. See https://helloworld.letsencrypt.org/ https://helloworld.letsencrypt.org/ for an example. This does not, however, mean that we can all start using Let's Encrypt. They're doing a slow roll-out before making certs generally available to the public. You can apply for the Beta at https://goo.gl/forms/kf0IGCeAk5 https://goo.gl/forms/kf0IGCeAk5, or wait until general availability later this year.
- axx 11y agoThanks!
- eyuelt 11y agoYep, if you get a certificate signed by one of their intermediate certificates, you're good to go.
- LukeShu 11y ago"Yes", except that general availability doesn't come until the week of November 16th.
