Introduced support for Delegated Credentials for TLS, a new cryptographic protocol developed with industry partners. This feature allows for short-lived authorization keys to be pushed to edge servers, enabling faster and more reliable TLS termination compared to pull-based systems like Keyless SSL. This reduces latency and improves availability by eliminating the need for remote key operations during every TLS handshake. The implementation also opens avenues for experimenting with new authentication algorithms and post-quantum cryptography.
