Server Monitoring of Merkle Tree Certificates

This document describes a system for site operators to monitor for mis-issued Merkle Tree Certificates affecting their websites. This monitoring is highly efficient, requiring site operators to do an amount of work that is only logarithmic proportional to the total number of certificates issued. It does this while preserving the security and transparency guarantees of Merkle Tree Certificates. Discussion Venues This note is to be removed before publishing as an RFC.
