+[[!meta title="*.scripts.mit.edu certificate signed by Equifax"]]
+We’re glad to let you know that we’ve purchased an SSL/HTTPS
+certificate for \*.scripts.mit.edu domain names that’s signed by a
+well-known signatory, Equifax, instead of by the MIT Certificate
+Authority. This means that you can use HTTPS URLs for those domain
+names in any popular browser without having to download and trust
+the MIT CA in advance — great news for those of you running
+websites that target people outside the MIT community. MIT client
+certificates continue to work as normal.
+
+We’ll also be installing an Equifax-signed certificate for
+https://scripts.mit.edu/ soon, but we continue to encourage the use
+of \*.scripts.mit.edu names instead of scripts.mit.edu/\~ names for
+their improved security properties.
+
+For those of you with \*.mit.edu names, you can continue to use or
+request MIT-signed certificates as always, or you can have the
+secure parts of your site use a \*.scripts.mit.edu URL or discuss
+other arrangements with us.
