[squid-users] Certificate transparency: problem for ssl-bumping, no effect, or?

Google is pushing this for all websites by October 2017

One issue to be "caught" are subordinated CA certs that can
allow one vector for generating certs accepted by browsers w/o
importing any new certs.

Some of the info on the cert page:

    https://www.certificate-transparency.org/what-is-ct

Seems to indicate that site-local generated and imported
certs may also be detected as invalid and be disallowed for
SSL connection approvals.  That would be a major pain given
google's actions that seem to be hostile to end-user (or
end-site) web-caching.
(saw this on
