What is Letsencrypt?

Let's Encrypt is a certificate authority that issues free, automated, and open-source digital certificates to enable HTTPS (SSL/TLS) encryption for websites. Developed by the non-profit Internet Security Research Group (ISRG), it aims to make web encryption ubiquitous by providing a streamlined process for obtaining and renewing SSL/TLS certificates. This eliminates the historically complex and costly traditional methods, empowering website owners to quickly secure their sites and protect user data with minimal effort
