Summary

Firebase has implemented Certificate Transparency for its Realtime Database to strengthen SSL/TLS security and help detect certificates mistakenly or maliciously issued by certificate authorities. Realtime Database responses will now always include a Signed Certificate Timestamp, extending protection to every user connection rather than only to browsers that request it. Although the added certificate data slightly increases response sizes and could produce a small rise in billed outbound bandwidth costs, Firebase presents the change as an important safeguard for applications and users against rare but serious certificate-related attacks.
