node-acme

=========

Reference implementation of [ACME](https://ietf-wg-acme.github.io/acme/).

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/hildjj/node-acme.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/hildjj/node-acme)

[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/hildjj/node-acme/badge.svg?branch=master&service=github)](https://coveralls.io/github/hildjj/node-acme?branch=master)

## Goals

This implementation is intended more as a tool for learning about ACME and

working on its development than something to be used in production.

* Demonstrate how the protocol works in as minimal as a way as possible

* Provide a platform to show how possible changes to the protocol impact an

  implementation

* Provide a testing / conformance tool for people developing ACME

  implementations

* 100% test and documentation coverage

* Non-goal: Having a clean command line interface or API

## Architecture

Internally, this module has a layered structure reflecting the layering of ACME.

* `jose` and `nonce-source` modules that provide some basic services

* `transport-client` and `transport-server` address the [transport layer

  requirements](https://ietf-wg-acme.github.io/acme/#rfc.section.5) of the

  protocol, e.g., message signing and verification.

* `*-validation` modules capture the various ways to [validate possession of an

  identifier](https://ietf-wg-acme.github.io/acme/#rfc.section.7)

* `acme-client` and `acme-server` provide the logic for the [application-level

  issuance flow](https://ietf-wg-acme.github.io/acme/#rfc.section.6)
