[Steve Simon]

Anyone any experience of a provider of free SSL/TLS
certificates they would reccomend?

I appologise if my terminology is imperfect, I am new

StartSSL: https://konklone.com/post/switch-to-https-now-for-free
Free for non-comercial purposes. I believe you need to renew every year.

Also participating in letsencrypt.org beta program, but you need to renew
every 3 months (though they do have support for automated renewal,
haven't tried yet).

StartSSL is a good choice (full disclosure: I'm a stockholder there.)

Letsencrypt is the latest wrinkle on what I call "collegial certification."

For hazards in previous instances of collegial certification, see

Full disclosure: We produced that video.

THIS COMMUNICATION IS INTENDED ONLY FOR THE USE OF THE PERSON TO WHOM IT IS ADDRESSED. If it was addressed incorrectly there's not much I can do but ask you politely to pretend you didn't see it. Any disclaimer suggesting that the sender has some kind of recourse is just wishful thinking.

If I had a message from you that was digitally signed using your Sigillum™ identity credential from the Osmio Vital Records Department (http://osmio.ch), we could easily and at no cost exchange encrypted messages and files with each other.
