FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Wildcard Certificate for ACME protocol / Letsencrypt project? Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2015 11:54:02 +0100 From: Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) - lists <[email protected]> To: [email protected]
Hi, are there plan or has been already been defined specs to manage wildcard certificates (ie: *.domain.TLD) with ACME protocol and Letsencrypt CA project? I ask this because at Tor2web project [1][2][3] we use Wildcard certificates to enable internet access to Tor's Hidden Services resources (and soon i2p too). One of the problem in making Tor2web network to grow up in numbers is related to the "costs" of wildcard certificates. With the upcoming Letsencrypt free-automated-CA-revolution, this could change the economic effort required to startup and run a Tor2web node by a volounteer. But to do that, it would be required to issue wildcard certificate within the automated CA of letsencrypt. If it will be possible to have Wildcard certificate, we could automate the issuing/setup process within Tor2web software, making it extremely easy and cost effective to set it up.
