  • Comment: What even is this? I'm sorry but I can't understand at all what this is supposed to be, it all looks like gibberish. This isn't ready at all to be reviewed by anyone. This will remain declined. S.G. (They/Them) (Talk) (Contributions) 15:26, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

ZeroSSL is a certificate authority specializing in issuing SSL/TLS certificates and delivering Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services. Its mission is to enhance web and application security through encryption and identity verification. History Founded in early 2016 and headquartered in Vienna, Austria, ZeroSSL’s initial focus was offering free 90-day SSL certificates via third-party vendors. Over time, it evolved into a full-fledged Certificate Authority, expanding its portfolio to include paid plans, wildcard and multi-domain certificates, and advanced PKI solutions. [zerossl.com], [zerossl.com] [zerossl.com], [pitchbook.com] On January 11 2024, HID Global (an ASSA ABLOY subsidiary) acquired ZeroSSL in a move aimed at enhancing its PKI and IoT offerings. At the time, ZeroSSL was issuing more than 500,000 certificates monthly to over 2.4 million users. [newsroom.h...global.com], [peak-tech.com] Services ZeroSSL offers: • Domain Validation (DV) • Organization Validation (OV) • Extended Validation (EV) certificates Certificates can be issued automatically via the ACME protocol with EAB authorization, and managed programmatically through a RESTful API. The service supports multi-domain and wildcard certificates, SSL monitoring, and certificate lifecycle management tools. [zerossl.com], [docs.digicert.com] [zerossl.com], [crunchbase.com] Industry Position Although Let’s Encrypt dominates the free SSL certificate market (over 48% share), ZeroSSL has carved out a niche by offering a user-friendly interface, email-based validation, monitoring tools, and a REST API. It currently holds less than 0.1% of the global SSL market by website usage. [w3techs.com], [linuxiac.com], [g2.com] [w3techs.com], [w3techs.com] On G2, ZeroSSL is rated 4.3/5, praised for its automation and support, but trails Let’s Encrypt slightly in ease and community support. [g2.com] Acquisition by HID Global ZeroSSL now operates within HID Global’s PKI & IoT business unit. HID emphasizes that the acquisition “reinforces our commitment to safeguarding digital transactions” by integrating secure website communication into its broader identity and cybersecurity portfolio.
