And you can do that by using a software client that uses\u00a0<strong>ACME\u00a0<\/strong>(Automatic Certificate Management Environment)\u00a0<strong>protocol<\/strong>. Having the\u00a0<strong>free SSL certificate<\/strong>\u00a0means your communications get end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n<p>So, when files pass between your web server and its users, they become unreadable to anyone who intercepts them. And moreover, nobody can tamper with them.<\/p>\n<p>The Electronic Frontier Foundation developed\u00a0<strong>Certbot<\/strong>, which has now become the best known and most widely used ACME client on the block.

But now, Let\u2019s Encrypt has broken tradition to offer automated creation of each free SSL certificate for the end user.
