The invention discloses an automatic
certificate management method and
system, and belongs to the technical field of
network security and digital
certificate management, and the method comprises the following steps: 1, providing a protocol
adaptation layer supporting multiple protocols, the protocol
adaptation layer supporting ACME, SCEP, EST, CMP and private RESTful protocols, and communicating with a
certificate authority (CA); step 2, setting a strategy management module, and defining an automatic
management strategy of the certificate, including conditions and rules of certificate application, updating, revoking and distribution; and step 3, automatically executing application, updating, revoking and distribution operations of the certificate by using a certificate management module. According to the automatic certificate management method, the
system and the
system architecture, a new certificate management protocol is allowed to be integrated in the future, technical development is adapted, a
machine learning
algorithm is introduced, a certificate
management strategy is optimized according to historical data, and a complete secure
ecology is constructed by integrating with other security systems and operation and maintenance systems through an
open API (Application Program Interface).
