Related to SSL, EFF is planning for a new free Certificate Authority to
increase encrypted Internet traffic.

More details at:

https://www.eff.org/press/releases/new-free-certificate-authority-dramatically-increase-encrypted-internet-traffic

https://letsencrypt.org/

Keeping CACert aside, as per my knowledge, only
StartSSL(https://www.startssl.com/) now offers completely free SSL
Certificates.
