A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 8555 Title: Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) Author: R. Barnes, J. Hoffman-Andrews, D. McCarney, J. Kasten Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: March 2019 Mailbox: rlb@ipv.sx, jsha@eff.org, cpu@letsencrypt.org, jdkasten@umich.edu Pages: 95 Characters: 196903 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-acme-acme-18.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8555 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8555 Public Key Infrastructure using X.509 (PKIX) certificates are used for a number of purposes, the most significant of which is the authentication of domain names. Thus, certification authorities (CAs) in the Web PKI are trusted to verify that an applicant for a certificate legitimately represents the domain name(s) in the certificate. As of this writing, this verification is done through a collection of ad hoc mechanisms. This document describes a protocol that a CA and an applicant can use to automate the process of verification and certificate issuance. The protocol also provides facilities for other certificate management functions, such as certificate revocation. This document is a product of the Automated Certificate Management Environment Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This announcement is sent to the IETF-Announce and rfc-dist lists.
