Cloudflare builds a certificate authority for the whole Internet
Original: Building a certificate authority for the whole Internet
Cloudflare has detailed its work building a certificate authority intended to issue TLS certificates at Internet scale. The company outlines how it validates domains and issues certificates for millions of websites, positioning itself as an alternative to established authorities like Let's Encrypt and DigiCert. The move matters because trusted certificates underpin HTTPS everywhere, and concentrating more of that infrastructure with a major CDN operator raises questions about scale, security and centralisation.
Why now: Cloudflare's blog post on running a public certificate authority at massive scale is drawing wide attention from developers and security engineers.
