Announce: SSL certificates renewed
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Sun 03 Jun 2007 12:43:10 PM UTC.
SSL certificates for gna.org and mail.gna.org have been renewed.
These certificates are not signed by a real certificate authority: their purpose is not to confirm our identity but to provide you a way to be sure that https://gna.org and https://mail.gna.org today are running on the same machine they were yesterday. Also, certificates are required for an https server to run, and https is a way to secure all the data transiting between your computer and our servers, like authentication information.

Why don't you use CaCert (cacert.org)? They're much more recognized than any private CA.

cacert.org root certificate is not recognized by mainstream browsers. Importing some unchecked third party certificate is not good thing.

How much do you need in order to get signed certificates recognized by mainstream browsers? |
