About Certificate Logs
Certificate Transparency (CT) logs are public records that track the issuance of SSL/TLS certificates, providing a transparent and verifiable system for monitoring certificates issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs). These logs are append-only and publicly accessible, allowing anyone to audit and review certificates issued for domains. By referencing CT logs, administrators can verify that no unauthorized or misissued certificates have been generated for their domains, ensuring the integrity of their SSL/TLS implementations.
From a technical perspective, Certificate Transparency logs are crucial for improving security by detecting certificate misissuance and potential attacks such as man-in-the-middle. By integrating CT log monitoring, domain owners can receive real-time alerts when a new certificate is issued for their domain, allowing them to respond quickly to any anomalies. CT logs also enhance trust across the web by providing an open system that anyone can query to audit certificate issuance. This mechanism is critical for maintaining a secure web environment and ensuring SSL/TLS certificates are properly issued and managed.
