From EFF Says It Issued One Million Free HTTPS Certificates via Let's Encrypt Project

Three months and five days after the Let's Encrypt project entered public beta stage, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), one of its co-founders, is announcing that it put out its one millionth certificate, which was issued yesterday on March 8, at 09:04 AM GMT.

The Let's Encrypt project was started in 2012 by four researchers, two from the Mozilla Foundation, and one from the University of Michigan and another one representing the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
