Eric,

Are you thinking of startssl - http://www.startssl.com/?app=1 ? They have a free cert, but I don't know how good it is compared to a self-signed cert. Their web site looks like all the other "free ssl cert" web sites......check your wallet at the door! ;)

I use cheapssls.com. They are owned by Namecheap. Very good. 

There was also an SSL provider providing free certs for non-commercial applications. I'd have to google it.

I would like to find an inexpensive (ie really cheap) ssl cert for a project I am working on. I have a self-signed certificate now, and I would like to get rid of the annoying warning messages.

A side question. When I click on "continue" in the warning message, I connect to the site. However, the https in the Chrome browser bar is red and has a slash through it. Does that mean the traffic is not encrypted, or is it just another warning that the cert is not verified?

All I need to do is encrypt the traffic between the browser and server. There is no e-commerce involved. The content contains some sensitive financial info, so I would like to encrypt it.

I googled for cheap certs, and there are many providers, so I have no idea which ones are any good. If you have any experience with a particular provider, pleaser let me know.

Thanks,

Mark
