Test coverage for the entire ACME server implementation: - helpers_test.go: memBarrier, key generation, JWS/EAB signing, test fixtures - nonce_test.go: issue/consume lifecycle, reuse rejection, concurrency - jws_test.go: JWS parsing/verification (ES256, ES384, RS256), JWK parsing, RFC 7638 thumbprints, EAB HMAC verification, key authorization - eab_test.go: EAB credential CRUD, account/order listing - validate_test.go: HTTP-01 challenge validation with httptest servers, authorization/order state machine transitions - handlers_test.go: full ACME protocol flow via chi router — directory, nonce, account creation with EAB, order creation, authorization retrieval, challenge triggering, finalize (order-not-ready), cert retrieval/revocation, CSR identifier validation One production change: extract dnsResolver variable in validate.go for DNS-01 test injection (no behavior change). All 60 tests pass with -race. Full project vet and test clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Metacrypt
Metacrypt is a cryptographic service for the Metacircular platform. It provides an encrypted secrets barrier and pluggable cryptographic engines (CA/PKI, SSH CA, transit encryption, user-to-user encryption) over a gRPC and HTTPS API. Authentication is delegated to MCIAS.
It operates using a seal/unseal model similar to HashiCorp Vault: the service starts sealed on every boot and must be unlocked with a password before cryptographic operations are available.
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Go 1.23+
- A running MCIAS instance
- TLS certificate and key for the server
Build
make metacrypt metacrypt-web
Configure
cp deploy/examples/metacrypt.toml /srv/metacrypt/metacrypt.toml
# Edit to set listen_addr, tls_cert, tls_key, database.path, mcias.server_url
Initialize
./metacrypt init --config /srv/metacrypt/metacrypt.toml
This prompts for a seal password and generates the master encryption key. Store the seal password securely — it cannot be recovered if lost.
Run
./metacrypt server --config /srv/metacrypt/metacrypt.toml
The service starts sealed. Unseal it:
curl -sk -X POST https://localhost:8443/v1/unseal \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"password":"<seal-password>"}'
Or use the web UI: navigate to https://<host>:8443/.
Docker
make docker
docker compose -f deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
See RUNBOOK.md for volume setup instructions.
