"Let’s Encrypt is a new Certificate Authority: It’s free, automated, and open."[1]

The idea would be to integrate the openSUSE/SLE support into the Let's Encrypt Client.

"The Let's Encrypt Client is a tool to automatically receive and install X.509 certificates to<br> enable TLS on servers. The client will interoperate with the Let's Encrypt CA which will be<br> issuing browser-trusted certificates for free."[2]

Let's Encrypt uses the Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) protocol[3]<br> to distribute certificates easily. Part of this project idea would be to understand the protocol<br> in detail.
