Open Certificate Transparency

Open Certificate Transparency is a security measure designed to enhance the integrity of internet communications. When websites use secure connections (HTTPS), they receive digital certificates that verify their identity. Certificate Transparency requires these certificates to be logged in publicly accessible databases. This allows anyone to verify that a website's certificate is legitimate and helps identify and prevent fraud, such as the use of fake certificates. By making this information open and searchable, Open Certificate Transparency fosters trust in online interactions and helps protect users from malicious activities.
