    The ACME Protocol is an IETF Standard

    • The ACME Protocol is an IETF Standard

      It has long been a dream of ours for there to be a standardized protocol for certificate issuance and management. That dream has become a reality now that the IETF has standardized the ACME protocol as RFC 8555. I’d like to thank everyone involved in that effort, including Let’s Encrypt staff and other IETF contributors. Having a standardized protocol for certificate issuance and management is important for two reasons. First, it improves the quality of the software ecosystem because developers can focus on developing great software for a single protocol, instead of having many pieces of less well maintained software for bespoke APIs.
