<div dir="ltr">Hi Robert, all:<div><br></div><div>As a disclaimer, I'm not an engineer/programmer, so I don't know all the technical specifications. However, I am a big advocate for Let's Encrypt, and think it sends a strong message about the service they offer if the RIPE community and NCC endorses them for our networks and infrastructure. So, take my vote with a grain of salt, but I say let's do it (barring any kind of technical issue that I'm simply not aware of). </div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Best,<br>-Michael</font><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Sep 3, 2019 at 9:58 AM Robert Kisteleki <<a href="mailto:robert@ripe.net">robert@ripe.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>

<br>
TL;DR if the community prefers it we use LE (+TLSA).<br>
<br>
This comes with the expense of some one-time and ongoing operational<br>
work. Considering that anchors don't host any sensitive information,<br>
using self-signed certs (+TLSA) was so far considered good enough.<br>
