After much work in background and previous update covered here at soylentnews, the guys over at Let's Encrypt have finally given a launch schedule:

Let’s Encrypt has reached a point where we’re ready to announce our launch schedule.

  • First certificate: Week of July 27, 2015
  • General availability: Week of September 14, 2015

While this is a bit off from the original mid-2015 launch date, it's a great start towards encrypted web communications.

    At least for websites, HTTP Public Key Pinning mitigates most of the issue. The CA becomes responsible for securing the first connection, and after that, only the key set by the pins will be accepted.
