[Ldsoss] SSL Certificates

Tue, 12 Sep 2006 23:05:03 -0700

Does anybody know of an inexpensive (free would be good) alternative for SSL server certificates? I know how to self-sign, but that requires my certificate authority certificate be installed as a trusted root CA in every browser that visits my site. The process of installing a trusted root certificate isn't easy, and although I could probably create an installer for the certificate on Windows, I'm hesitant to do that until I've explored alternatives. I'm hoping someone out there knows of a way to get a certificate signed by an authority that is already trusted by most browsers, without having to pay Verisign or Thawte several hundred dollars a year. Some kind of non-profit exemption might do the trick, or perhaps someone who has set up free infrastructure to do the job. The solution to this particular problem need not be open source, so if anyone knows of a better source for this info, please let me know.
