Summary

TLS 1.3 encrypts the server's certificates. With that protection in place, we finally have the confidence that we can implement certificate compression without causing middlebox issues. Certificate compression is an IETF TLS WG draft (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-certificate-compression-03) and we plan on implementing that specification, supporting the Brotli algorithm.
