May 10, 2016Nick Sullivan
Summary
This post introduces the Cloudflare Origin CA, a new feature that allows users to obtain certificates directly from Cloudflare to encrypt the connection between Cloudflare and their origin servers. It highlights the use of the Web Crypto API for client-side private key generation, enhancing both security and usability by eliminating the need for users to manage private keys or interact with third-party certificate authorities for this specific purpose.
