Because Google, Mozilla and others prioritize keeping the Web working over keeping it secure, deleting misbehaving big CAs from trust lists won't happen. These flaws weaken the reliability and effectiveness of encrypted Internet connections and can compromise critical TLS/SSL mechanisms, including domain validation, end-to-end encryption, and the chains of trust set up by certificate authorities. In this way, auditors, monitors and clients cooperate to verify the correct operation of logs, which in turn provides clients with confidence in the [certificate,attestation] pairs they use to secure their communications. The auditor is part of the client, checking at intervals that the certificates in the SCTs it receives from Web servers are correctly stored in the log. ./cache/blog-dshr-org-7999.html ./txt/blog-dshr-org-7999.txt
