ACME is a protocol for automating the management of domain-validation certificates, based on a simple JSON-over-HTTPS interface. This repository contains the specification for ACME.
We're using the IETF toolchain and formats for this specification. The "source" version of the specification is the markdown version, draft-barnes-acme.md. Other versions are generated from that, and the versions in the repo may be out of date.
This spec is a work in progress. Eventually, we hope to move it to the IETF process to become an RFC, but for now -- pull requests welcome!
Just open draft-barnes-acme.md in a text editor.
If you want to reproduce the other files:
> sudo port install xml2rfc
> gem install kramdown-rfc2629
> kramdown-rfc2629 draft-barnes-acme.md >draft-barnes-acme.xml
> xml2rfc draft-barnes-acme.xml
> xml2html draft-barnes-acme.xml
You can also use a prototype web version of these tools.
