Research direction
Examine the existing acme tiny.py to see how RSA keys are currently handled (e.g., key generation and CSR creation). Then research Let's Encrypt's ECDSA support and ACME specification for key types. Look at comments in the issue for any suggested approaches or code snippets. Consider implementing support for EC keys by extending the key parsing and CSR generation logic.
