11:44p	Linux Foundation to host Let's Encrypt The Linux Foundation (LF) has announced that it will serve as host of the Let's Encrypt project, as well as the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). Let's Encrypt is the free, automated SSL/TLS certificate authority that was announced in November 2014 by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) to provide TLS certificates for every domain on the web.

In the LF announcement, executive director Jim Zemlin notes that "by hosting this important encryption project in a neutral forum we can accelerate the work towards a free, automated and easy security certification process that benefits millions of people around the world."
