64-Day Certificate Lifetimes Coming Feb 2027

Let's Encrypt

On February 10, 2027, all Let’s Encrypt subscribers will move to certificates with 64 day lifetimes by default unless they select an even shorter lifetime (45 or 6 days, as previously announced). This means that any certificate we issue or renew on and after that date will have a 64 day validity period, and we expect the last 90-day certificate to expire on May 11, 2027. We will not revoke valid certificates as a part of this process. We will switch to issuing 64 day certificates in our staging environment on October 14, 2026 to enable testing. We recommend testing in staging before the change takes effect in production. If your renewals are automated and your client supports ACME Renewal Info (ARI), you should be all set since ARI allows Let’s Encrypt to tell your client when to renew (y…

How We Built a Data Warehouse Using ClickHouse

Let's Encrypt

When the scripts that generate the data for letsencrypt.org/stats broke yet again, we decided to retire them rather than repair them. Let’s Encrypt issues six to ten million certificates each day, producing a large volume of logs that keeps growing. It became increasingly time-consuming and difficult to answer questions about our own issuance like “how many certificates use the ‘shortlived’ profile.” Using raw logs, this requires finding, parsing and extracting relevant portions of loglines. Querying the database behind our issuance API is not a practical option, as it’s built for transactions rather than analysis. We’d also used a log search SaaS product, but our bills were growing much faster than we’d like, and while it was fine for searching, it wasn’t able to do the analytic workload…

Going Back to Our Roots: A Little Piece of Let's Encrypt History

Let's Encrypt

Ten years ago, we printed one of the nerdiest t-shirts we’ve ever made. On the front was the entire PEM encoding of ISRG Root X1 in base64. Back then, it represented a future we were working toward. Today, that same design tells the story of just how far Let’s Encrypt has come. Let’s Encrypt was already issuing publicly trusted certificates in 2016, but ISRG Root X1 itself was still slowly and quietly making its way into browsers and operating systems around the world. For many years, our certificates were trusted through a cross-sign from IdenTrust. ISRG Root X1 itself was added to the major trust stores fairly early on; the slow part was waiting for that update to reach the browsers and devices already out in the world, since many of them only get new trust stores when they’re updated.…

A Post-Quantum Future for Let's Encrypt

Let's Encrypt

Let’s Encrypt is committed to a post-quantum-safe Web PKI. The path we’re planning to take is Merkle Tree Certificates (“MTCs”), a new approach that adds post-quantum authentication to the web without sacrificing the speed and reliability that have made TLS universal. This post is about these plans and why we believe MTCs are worth pursuing as a key to a post-quantum future. An increasingly urgent problem For much of the last several years, the conversation about post-quantum cryptography has been a conversation about encryption. The reasoning was straightforward: an attacker who records encrypted traffic today might be able to decrypt it years from now once quantum computers can break the underlying math. Authentication, the part of TLS that indicates a server is who it says it is, has b…
