Let’s Encrypt is working on launching Merkle Tree Certificates. In this talk, we’ll discuss how we’ve added Merkle Tree certificates to our Boulder CA software, how we’re serving our logs, and the testing, monitoring, and disaster planning we’re doing to ship a production-quality CA the world can rely on. We’ll compare running an MTCA and mirror to our previous ACME CA and static CT logs, and what lessons from the past have informed our future architecture.
Speaker
Matthew McPherrin is the technical lead of the Let’s Encrypt site reliability engineering team, which runs the Let’s Encrypt Certificate Authority and Certificate Transparency logs.
