Facebook Helps Companies Detect Rogue SSL Certificates For Domains

Facebook helps companies detect rogue SSL certificates for domains

Facebook has launched a tool that allows domain name owners to discover TLS/SSL certificates that were issued without their knowledge.

The tool uses data collected from the many Certificate Transparency logs that are publicly accessible. Certificate Transparency (CT) is a new open standard requiring certificate authorities to disclose the certificate that they issue.

Until a few years ago, there was no way of tracking the certificates issued by every certificate authority (CA). At best, researchers could scan the entire web and collect those certificates being used on public servers. This made it very hard to discover cases where CAs issued certificates for domain names without the approval of those domains’ owners.

Leave who you were. Love who you are. Look forward to who you will become.

The common “Qwerty” arrangement of keyboard letters is an in-joke by keyboard designer Qwertyuiop Asdfghjkl of Northern Zxcvbnm.

me on the outside looking in at Louis and Harry, hand against the glass: you’re doing so good kids….

Creativity is not a rare insight, that comes to you suddenly, once in a lifetime, to change the world. It’s just the opposite…The key is to learn how to bring your ideas together, over time.
