The Automatic Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol is a communications protocol for automating interactions between certificate authorities and their users' web servers, allowing the automated deployment of public key infrastructure at very low cost. Supporting this protocol will reduce the complexity of acquiring certificates for TLS encryption, via the "Let's encrypt" certificate authority.

The final goal of this project is for ejabberd to fully support the ACME protocol and thus provide an easy and cheap way of acquiring security certificates.
