Free Digital (SSL) Certificates

Digital certificates are use to encrypt or sign your email, secure web servers, email servers or identify you in client software (such as vpn clients or web clients).

Digital certificates can also be costly, but fortunately - an organisation exists to issue free digital certificates. As this is all about being assured a persons identity is being used by that same person, you will need to be assured - that means proving to a few other people you are who you say you are.

There are a number of people in the Surrey LUG who are assurers for CA cert and you can either get assured by them at a LUG or by private arrangement.

Assurers are:

• Michael Judd
• Jon Fautley

(Please add your name to this list if you are an assurer)
