Let's encrypt is the exact same trust model as conventional CAs selling you a DV certificate. Apart from that, the trust model in the public CA system does not and cannot vary by CA: you trust them all, equally, all the time.
- skuhn 12y agoSorry, I meant the nature of the CA as a public benefits corporation that is more open than conventional CAs. Meaning maybe I personally trust them a bit more than Verisign -- although I haven't decided if I do, and really any CA will betray you rather than go to jail on your behalf. Their certs are indeed the same DV type as always.
