Dropped a Lot of Gold on a Scott Helme Blogpost

Shoutout to Scoot Helme, he has the best compendium of articles on the internet when it comes to strengthening the provisioning of your website via TLS, CA issuance, hooks, cert pinning, etc.

In particular, there was this one article here where Scott mentions a 'backup CA' (ZeroSSL; personally thought that they were 'out of business' or just leaving things up to LetsEncrypt).

See here: https://scotthelme.co.uk/introducing-another-free-ca-as-an-alternative-to-lets-encrypt/

Scott is correct about this, but I did follow up to ask him if he could double check on the cryptographic strength of the cert being issued because LetsEncrypt has stepped their game way the hell up this year.

Introducing another free CA as an alternative to Let's Encrypt

Let's Encrypt is an amazing organisation doing an amazing thing by providing certificates at scale, for free. The problem though was that they were the only such organisation for a long time, but I'm glad to say that the ecosystem is changing.





It's always…
