Geo Key Manager: How It Works
Sep 26, 2017Nick Sullivan
Summary
Introduced Geo Key Manager, a feature that allows customers to control where their private SSL keys are stored on Cloudflare's network. This builds on Keyless SSL by hosting key servers in chosen locations, reducing complexity and latency. The architecture leverages Identity-Based Broadcast Encryption (IBBE) and Identity-Based Revocation (IBR) to provide granular control over key distribution based on regions and specific data center locations, addressing diverse regulatory and risk profile requirements.
