We should retain the lower-latency option (i.e. SCTs) too though. TRAC ticket 10 already aims to do this. DV certs are typically validated and issued quickly. For EV certs and name-constrained Sub-CA certs, the process can take days/weeks/months, so added latency in issuance may be less of a concern. When OCSP Stapling and/or the CT TLS extension are used to convey "CT objects" to TLS clients, the TLS server could send SCTs for the first few hours, then switch to sending inclusion proofs / STHs once the log has generated them. -- Rob Stradling Senior Research & Development Scientist COMODO - Creating Trust Online
