Let’s Encrypt is a non-profit certificate authority (CA) that provides free, automated SSL/TLS certificates to enable secure encrypted connections between web servers and clients. SSL/TLS certificates encrypt the communication between a web server and a client’s browser, making it more difficult for anyone to intercept or eavesdrop on the traffic.
Let’s Encrypt certificates can be obtained and installed easily through automated tools, making it possible for websites of all sizes to enable secure connections without requiring significant technical expertise or financial resources. By making HTTPS encryption more accessible, Let’s Encrypt aims to promote online security and privacy for all internet users.
