▲ 48 ▼ Why are CAs important if anyone can get their certificate signed for free? (lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago by lemmington_steele@lemmy.world to c/explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world 10 comments fedilink hide all child comments For example, anyone could use Let's Encrypt to get a trusted certificate, so what makes this trustworthy? Or why not trust everyone that signs their own certificates with a program like OpenSSL?
