---------------------------------

             Summary: Add support for Certificate transparency TLS extension
                 Key: TS-4245
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4245
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: SSL
            Reporter: Prakhar Rudra


Certificate transparency is very important for EV certificate holders. Chrome 
or Firefox does not show the special green bar without this info.

This TLS extension is defined here,
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6962

and the site by google,
https://www.certificate-transparency.org

This info can be delivered to the browser of end-users in one of the three 
possible ways -
1) OCSP stapling
2) In the certificate itself.
3) as a TLS extension.

It is not an issue for those SSL certificates which include the CT info in the  
certificate or when it is delivered through OCSP. But very few providers have 
support for such.

Another thing to note is that TLS extension is probably the best method as it 
provides freedom to choose other logs along with certain measure of redundancy.

Thanks
