This talk provides an overview of the current state of the Web Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), with updates on topics ranging from Certificate Transparency to DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) to automated certificate issuance (Let's Encrypt) to short-lived certificates and the current state of revocation. We will also cover some changes that will be coming over the next several years. This will be of interest to anyone who wants to better understand the tools available to secure their web services, and the operational implications of their choices.
