This protocol is not part of the UEFI specification, but is installed by the [Shim bootloader](https://github.com/rhboot/shim) which is commonly used by Linux distributions to support UEFI Secure Boot. Shim is built with an embedded certificate that is used to validate another EFI application before running it. That application may itself be a bootloader that needs to validate another EFI application before running it, and the shim lock protocol exists to support that.
