CycloneACME
ACME Client Library

CycloneACME is a client implementation of ACME (Automatic Certificate Management Environment) dedicated to embedded applications. This solution can be used to automate the process of managing X.509 certificates (ordering, renewal, revocation) with a remote certification authority like Let's Encrypt. ACME allows deployment of public-key infrastructure on Internet-facing devices (HTTPS server for example) at very low cost.

CycloneACME is available either as open source (GPLv2 license) or under a royalty-free commercial license (non-GPL license). We also propose an evaluation license (90-day license in source form) with technical support for an easier onboarding and effective evaluation of our software.
