This service provides near real-time reputation information on a large number of TLS/SSL certificates seen in the wild, collected continuously from a set of partner network sites. The notary's data includes the time when a certificate was first and last seen, and whether we can establish a valid chain to a root certificate from the Mozilla root store. Over the course of this year, we built a certificate database that now comprises roughly half a million unique web certificates from over 7.6 billion connections, representing the activity of estimated 220,000 users. You can use the service by sending a DNS request for an A or TXT record to: <sha1>.notary.icsi.berkeley.edu The token <sha1> represents the SHA1 digest of the certificate to query, which you may find when consulting your browser for details about a certificate. For further details, usage instructions, and background reading, please visit the notary website at: http://notary.icsi.berkeley.edu We much appreciate your feedback at this early stage, both positive works-for-me notices as well as problems and suggestions for improvements.
