:: Let's Encrypt (1) membuat gebrakan beberapa bulan yang lalu ketika mereka menyediakan sertifikat SSL secara gratis. Sertifikat SSL harganya cukup mahal, mulai dari US$ 100, sampai bahkan ada yang US$ 5000. Fungsinya sangat penting, yaitu meng encrypt komunikasi website ybs, sehingga cracker tidak bisa menyadap password kita, juga menjaga privacy kita, dst.
Sebetulnya sejak dulu juga sudah ada sertifikat SSL gratis, yaitu dari StartSSL.com, namun, prosedur pendaftarannya agak ribet, dan tidak bisa di otomatisasi.
Nah baru saja tadi saya mendapat email dari StartSSL.com, ternyata mereka kini meluncurkan layanan yang bernama StartEncrypt, dimana kini fasilitas sertifikat SSL gratis mereka menjadi serba otomatis, dan kualitasnya pun lebih bagus daripada Let's Encrypt 🙂 alhamdulillah, mereka berlomba-lomba untuk kebaikan.
Email selengkapnya terlampir, semoga bermanfaat.
