Symantec Issues Intermediate CA Certificate for Blue Coat Public Services
This isn't necessarily as nefarious as it seems - Blue Coat is going to have to comply with Symantec's Certification Practice Statement(CPS) which prohibits the issuance of MitM certificates. In all likelihood it's to allow Blue Coat to roll out a service that allows it to create certificates for clients of its security services. Any deviation from that CPS would necessitate revoking this intermediate certificate.<p>That said, I'm quite curious though if Google is going to require that Blue Coat submit all issued certificates to be submitted to Certificate Transparency logs like the rest of Symantec's certificates[0].<p>[0] <a href="https://security.googleblog.com/2015/10/sustaining-digital-certificate-security.html" rel="nofollow">https://security.googleblog.com/2015/10/sustaining-digital-c...</a>
