## Réponse sur la sécurité des agents

certbot manages TLS certificates and can change web-server certificate state.

- **Accès aux identifiants:** Reads account keys, private keys, webroot paths, and DNS provider credentials.
- **Modification distante:** Can request certificates and modify local server config or DNS plugins.
- **Risque de publication ou d'artéfact:** Can create certificates used by public services.
- **Contrôle recommandé:** Gate renew, certonly, private-key reads, and DNS credential use.
- **Conseils d'utilisation par les agents:** Allow certificate status checks; require approval before issuing, renewing, or editing live certs.

## Historique du projet et usages

Certbot is EFF's ACME client for obtaining and renewing HTTPS certificates, most commonly from Let's Encrypt, and optionally configuring web servers such as Apache and nginx.

### Historique du projet

The repository was created in 2014 during the early Let's Encrypt client era. In 2016, EFF announced the client would move under the Certbot name to distinguish the client from the Let's Encrypt certificate authority and ISRG organization.

### Historique d'adoption

Certbot rode the same adoption wave as Let's Encrypt: EFF's 2016 announcement noted Let's Encrypt had issued its three millionth certificate, and EFF later reported Certbot installed on more than 4 million web servers maintaining certificates for more than 31 million websites.

### Modes d'utilisation

Certbot is intended to run on the server that hosts the site. It obtains certificates, saves them under /etc/letsencrypt/live, renews them on a schedule, and can use plugins for Apache, nginx, webroot, standalone, manual, and DNS-based validation.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Certbot is one of the canonical examples of a security CLI becoming distribution infrastructure: it appears in many package managers, replaced the older letsencrypt command name in user documentation, deprecated certbot-auto, and standardized operational files under /etc/letsencrypt.

### Chronologie

- 2014: Public certbot/certbot repository created.
- 2016: EFF announced the Let's Encrypt client rename to Certbot and the new certbot.eff.org site.
- 2025: Certbot 5.0.0 released, removing older deprecated APIs and Python 3.9 support.
- 2026: Certbot 5.6.0 released according to the official changelog.

### Related projects

- Let's Encrypt is the default certificate authority commonly used with Certbot.
- ACME is the protocol Certbot speaks, standardized as RFC 8555.
- certbot-apache, certbot-nginx, and Certbot DNS plugins provide authenticator and installer integrations.
