Let's Encrypt is a new certificate authority that is being launched by the EFF in collaboration with Mozilla, Cisco, Akamai and a team at the University of Michigan.  Let's Encrypt will issue certificates for free, using a new automated protocol called ACME for verification of domain control and issuance.  This talk will describe the features of the CA and clients at launch, explore the security challenges inherent in building such a system, and discuss its effect on the security of the CA marketplace as a whole.  We hope Let's Encrypt will help to enable a Web that uses HTTPS by default.
