ACME Protocol

The ACME Protocol is a communication method used primarily by websites to manage and automate the issuance of SSL/TLS certificates through Certificate Authorities (CAs). These certificates are crucial for securing internet connections and establishing trust. ACME streamlines the process, allowing web servers to automatically request, renew, and revoke certificates without manual intervention. This automation enhances security, reduces human error, and ensures that websites maintain encrypted connections efficiently, fostering a safer online environment.
