This document defines a profile of the Automatic Certificate
Management Environment (ACME) protocol by which the holder of an
identifier (e.g., a domain name) can allow a third party to obtain an
X.509 certificate such that the certificate subject is the delegated
identifier while the certified public key corresponds to a private
key controlled by the third party. A primary use case is that of a
Content Delivery Network (CDN), the third party, terminating TLS
sessions on behalf of a content provider (the holder of a domain
name). The presented mechanism allows the holder of the identifier
to retain control over the delegation and revoke it at any time.
Importantly, this mechanism does not require any modification to the
deployed TLS clients and servers.
This document is a product of the Automated Certificate Management Environment
Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
