[Gllug] Free SSL certs?

[Alex A. Smith]

If you can part with £7.69 then you can get a Rapid SSL from
http://www.servertastic.com/store/product.asp?numRecordPosition=1&P_ID=222&s
trPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=94

Free ones are not trusted in browsers that I have seen lately, though there
are some projects that do them (www.cacert.org), as far as I'm aware though,
to get issued them you have to meet with someone else higher on the CACert
project and prove your ID.

Rapid SSL will just need email and 5 minutes where it calls your phone and
you enter a pin number that’s shown on the website (I use the ones above for
some projects of mine).

Are there any reliable suppliers of free SSL certificates?  For the
application I have in mind I don't need to authenticate, just encrypt
connections to a web server.  So I'm looking for an certificate
supplier who will just do the most minimal authentication on me --
valid email address, for example -- and issue a certificate which can
be recognised by major browsers.

Note, I'm fully aware of self-signed certs, and I'm NOT looking for
that.
