Does DigiCert log all certificates to public CT logs?

By default, all publicly trusted TLS/SSL certificates are submitted to public Certificate Transparency logs ("CT logged").

This has been required for EV certificates since June 2015, and February 1st 2018 for all other public TLS/SSL certificates. This includes the following certificate types:

  • Standard SSL

  • Multi-Domain SSL

  • Wildcard SSL

  • Extended Validation SSL

  • EV Multi-Domain SSL

  • Grid Host SSL

  • Grid Host Multi-Domain SSL

CT logging doesn’t apply to your private TLS/SSL certificates. DigiCert will not log the following types of certificates:

  • Private SSL

  • Private Multi-Domain SSL

  • Private SSL Wildcard

  • Client

  • Code Signing

  • EV Code Signing

  • Document Signing
