Verify Certificate Transparency

Certificate Transparency (RFC 6962) requires CAs to submit every certificate to public, append-only Merkle logs. This tool parses the embedded SCTs, verifies each ECDSA signature against the log's public key, then fetches and verifies the Merkle inclusion proof — step by step.

The server will connect to port 443 and fetch the leaf certificate.

SCT Signature

Each SCT contains an ECDSA signature from the log. We verify it against the log's published public key.

🌲

Merkle Inclusion

We compute the leaf hash, fetch the audit path from the log API, and walk it to the root.

Log Directory

Log IDs are resolved against Google's trusted log list (log_list.json v3).
