Internet Security Research Group (ISRG)
Legal Transparency Report
Reporting period: January 2015 - June 2015
Published July 1, 2015
The trust of our users is ISRG’s most critical asset. Transparency regarding legal
requests is an important part of making sure our users can trust us, and to that end
we will be publishing reports twice annually. With the exception of this first report,
reports will be published three months after the period covered in order to allow us
time to research all requests and orders received during the period.
ISRG provides a secure, open, and transparent service for the public's benefit. As
such, ISRG opposes the introduction of a back door, specialized law enforcement
or government access, or any other deliberate weakness in Let's Encrypt or any of
our systems. As of the date of this report, we have never received a request or
demand of any kind, formal or informal from any government agency anywhere in
the world, that ISRG include a back door, specialized access, or any other
deliberate weakness in Let's Encrypt. If we were to receive such a request, we
would oppose it with all the legal and technical tools available to us.
