## Certificate Transparency
99+
100+
[Certificate Transparency (CT)](https://certificate.transparency.dev/) is an Internet security standard for monitoring and auditing the issuance of digital certificates issued by Certification Authorities (CAs).
101+
CT helps detect misissued or malicious certificates by requiring CAs to publicly log all certificates they issue in append-only, verifiable logs.
102+
These logs are monitored by various entities, including browsers and security researchers, to ensure transparency and trust in the certificate ecosystem.
103+
104+
Key entities in CT include:
105+
- **CAs:** Organizations that issue certificates.
106+
- **CT Logs:** Public, append-only logs where issued certificates are recorded.
107+
- **Monitors:** Parties that check logs for correctness.
108+
109+
The data available in Cloudflare Radar is derived from the CT logs currently monitored by Cloudflare.
110+
This enables visibility into certificate issuance trends, distributions, and metadata across the web.
