The Chocolate project to implement sweet automatic encryption for webservers.
There are two portions to the Chocoate protocol.
client-webserver/ contains code that can be run on any webserver (eventually,
email, XMPP and other SSL-securable servers too); it is used to automatically
request and install a CA-signed certificate for that server's public names.
server-ca/ contains a reference implementation for CAs to receive requests for
certs, set challenges for the requesting servers to prove that they really
control the names, and issue certificates.
Debian dependencies:
build deps:
swig
protobuf-compiler
python-dev
others:
gnutls-bin # for make cert requests
python-protobuf
