[https://letsencrypt.org/ Let's Encrypt] is a certificate authority that aims to streamline the issuance and management of X.509 Certificates, the authentication mechanism behind Transport Layer Security (TLS). Today, Let's Encrypt provides a tool to manipulate server configuration files to enable TLS. This project would be to write a module or patch for a popular web server such that it natively speaks the [https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-barnes-acme/ ACME protocol for Certificate Management]. For example, the team could produce an Apache module (''mod_acme'') to handle certificate issuance and renewal automatically, with the eventual goal of being included in Apache distributions by default.
