Certificate Transparency (CT) has successfully brought visibility to Web PKI certificate issuance but creates operational bottlenecks and scalability challenges. Static CT, a new approach designed by Filippo Valsorda, offers a simpler, more cost-effective solution that scales better through caching and compression. Let's Encrypt is leading adoption with qualified logs, while new operators like IPng Networks are joining the ecosystem. The evolution continues toward quantum-resistant designs as certificate lifetimes decrease and volume increases.
