SBA Research working on Let’s encrypt
One of Martin Mulazzani’s students is participating in the upcoming Mozilla Winter of Security. He will work on automating tool support for TLS configurations, as part of the ongoing research project TLSiP on measuring and increasing the usage of TLS across protocols.
Let’s Encrypt by the EFF in cooperation with Mozilla will be publicly released later this year, and will offer free certificates and support for one-click configuration of HTTPS.
