Description

Certbot is a tool to automatically receive and install X.509 certificates to enable TLS on servers. It will interoperate with the Let's Encrypt CA which issues browser-trusted certificates free of charge. It will: - generate a private key and CSR (Certificate Signing Request) - connect to the CA's API - prove domain control to the CA (via listening on port 80 or placing a file in the web root) - submit the CSR - if approved, install keys locally Tools to automate webserver configuration may be packaged separately in the future.
