Title: Let's Encrypt - a free Certificate Authority: automated and open
Post by: BitcoinFX on January 01, 2016, 05:42:11 PM
Be not a Bitcoin or altcoin mining pool, nor crypto service without HTTPS !

Let's Encrypt - https://letsencrypt.org/ - Let’s Encrypt is a new Certificate Authority: It’s free, automated, and open.

"Let's Encrypt is a certificate authority that entered public beta on December 3, 2015 that provides free X.509 certificates for Transport Layer Security encryption (TLS) via an automated process designed to eliminate the current complex process of manual creation, validation, signing, installation and renewal of certificates for secure websites." - https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Let's_Encrypt (https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Let's_Encrypt)

quoting from the website https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/ (https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/)

"All ISRG keys are currently RSA keys. We are planning to generate ECDSA keys in early 2016."

Will a Let's Encrypt CA be able to use existing cryptocurrency ECDSA key pairs?
