RFC 9447: Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) Challenges Using an Authority Token

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Some proposed extensions to the Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) rely on proving eligibility for certificates through consulting an external authority that issues a token according to a particular policy. This document specifies a generic Authority Token Challenge for ACME that supports subtype claims for different identifiers or namespaces that can be defined separately for specific applications.
