Okay kiddo, so let's talk about certificate management protocol. Have you ever heard of a certificate before? It's like a piece of paper that says you did something well or you know something important.
Now, on the internet, there are some websites that need to make sure they are secure, like when you buy something or share your private information. And to do that, they use what's called a certificate. It's like a virtual certificate that says that the website is safe and nobody can see what you're doing there.
But sometimes these certificates can expire or get lost, so we need a way to manage them. That's where the certificate management protocol comes in. It's like a system or set of rules that helps make sure the certificates are always up-to-date and working properly.
So, imagine it like this - you have a toy set with a lot of pieces. You want to make sure you have all the pieces, that they work and that they don't expire. The certificate management protocol is like the instructions on how to check all the pieces, make repairs if needed and get new pieces when the old ones are worn out.
Does that make sense, kiddo?
