Automated Certificate Management Environment

Automated Certificate Management Environment (ACME) is a system that helps websites securely communicate with users by automatically issuing, renewing, and managing digital security certificates, known as SSL/TLS certificates. These certificates verify a website's identity and encrypt data to protect users’ information. ACME simplifies the process by allowing website administrators to handle these certificates electronically, without manual intervention, ensuring continuous security. It is commonly used by platforms like Let's Encrypt to make secure browsing easy and accessible for everyone, promoting safer internet interactions.
