Non-Profit based ACME CA in Europe.

We want to establish an alternative to Let’s Encrypt that is taking the core features and values from ISRG. That’s not based on “bad US!1!”, more then a alternative would strengthen the ecosystem. This also means to create an alternative ecosystem like boulder.

The current challenges are mostly about incorporating the non-profit and structure it right. So that it’s as open as possible.

Motivation? To help shape the security landscape and bring much wanted features that are not viable for Let’s Encrypt to implement. Viable describes that boulder would require major rewrites for it to get implemented.

Specially we want to provide SMIME and .onion certificates.

How do you even become a trusted CA? Like, who controls/governs this stuff? Can also imagine it's pretty expensive to get started
