https://www.startssl.com/ https://www.startssl.com/ Supported by just about every browser. Entirely free. A fellow Hacker News user linked to it in a similar thread. I was impressed :)
- kijinbear 16y agoLast time I checked, StartSSL was not recognized by some (slightly old) browsers. I wonder if this issue has been resolved now?
- michaelhart 16y agoTheir root CA was generated in 2006. In theory, any browser shipped before 2006 will not support it unless it was added (through, for example, Windows Updates).IE7+ is supported; I haven't tested (and don't care to test) IE6.
- c00ki3s 16y agoAbout 3 years back I used them and back then ie6 didnt' work out of the box. And the windows root cert update didn't help either back then.
