Is it even a blockchain in the cryptocurrency sense of the word? It's a chain of trust where every addition cryptographically signs the previous entry (to prevent the database from being modified retroactively) but as far as I know there's no "mining" process nor decentralization - the log is still controlled by a central entity.
- theK 4y agoNot sure if the parent author meant a specific company or was just referring to the general domain of certificate verification. There are certificate verification projects in the blockchain space that go beyond what you describe.
- TheDong 4y agoThe parent post capitalized Certificate Transparency, so they probably meant the Certificate Transparency project, as described here: https://certificate.transparency.dev/ https://certificate.transparency.dev/ I hadn't seen any of these blockchain projects that try to provide a similar audit log for issued certificates that you reference... mind naming them? Particularly any that can actually be used?
