The Working Group will initially put down roots and define the mechanisms needed to interoperably construct and consume certificates:

1. A transparency log structure, maintained by a CA, containing the key/identifier bindings that the CA has certified.
1. An externally monitorable transparency log structure, maintained by a CA, containing the key/identifier bindings that the CA has certified.

This prompts a few unanswered questions, but I think that's a good thing (i.e. let's leave them unanswered for the WG):

  • External to whom? I think the obvious answer is "the public can monitor", but private PKIs might have a more nuanced answer, so leaving that to the deployment seems solid
  • How is it accessed? Is it the CA that guarantees access or mirrors or both? Does the spec have an opinion on this or do we leave it to deployments?


2. Certificate constructions to prove to relying parties that a binding is both in the CA's view of the log and externally monitorable.
