+    <a href="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let's Encrypt</a> is a free and open
1365
+    certificate authority that allows its users to setup HTTPS on their web
1366
+    server in a matter of seconds. The project uses a new protocol called ACME
1367
+    to automatically perform domain validation and certificate issuance.

1371
+    The Let's Encrypt client currently works on most Unix-like OSes and is
1372
+    able to automatically set up HTTPS on many Apache configurations. The
1373
+    purpose of this project is to expand Let's Encrypt support to new
1374
+    systems.
