### A private certificate authority you run yourself
- Issue client and server certificates to VMs, containers, devices, and people using internal hostnames and emails
- [RFC5280](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280) and [CA/Browser Forum](https://cabforum.org/baseline-requirements-documents/) compliant certificates that work **for TLS and HTTPS** (SSH coming soon!)
- [RFC5280](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5280) and [CA/Browser Forum](https://cabforum.org/baseline-requirements-documents/) compliant certificates that work **for TLS and HTTPS**
- Choose key types (RSA, ECDSA, EdDSA) & lifetimes to suit your needs
- [Short-lived certificates](https://smallstep.com/blog/passive-revocation.html) with **fully automated** enrollment, renewal, and revocation
- Fast, stable, and capable of high availability deployment using [root federation](https://smallstep.com/blog/step-v0.8.3-federation-root-rotation.html) and/or multiple intermediaries

- Use an existing certificate from another CA (e.g., using a device certificate like [Twilio's Trust OnBoard](https://www.twilio.com/wireless/trust-onboard)) *coming soon*
- ACMEv2 (RFC8555) support so you can **run your own private ACME server** *[coming soon](https://github.com/smallstep/certificates/tree/acme)*
* Use [certificate authentication for SSH](https://smallstep.com/blog/use-ssh-certificates/): connect SSH to SSO, improve security, and eliminate warnings & errors
* Issue SSH user certificates using OAuth OIDC
* Issue SSH host certificates to cloud VMs using instance identity documents
### Easy certificate management and automation via [`step` CLI](https://github.com/smallstep/cli) [integration](https://smallstep.com/docs/cli/ca/)
- Generate key pairs where they're needed so private keys are never transmitted across the network
