Summary
This post introduces Cloudflare Origin CA, a new service that provides free and performant encryption from Cloudflare's edge to the customer's origin server. It addresses the complexities of obtaining and renewing certificates by offering simplified issuance, wildcard certificate support, faster and more reliable revocation, and optimized certificates that reduce handshake size and origin bandwidth consumption. This enhances the overall security posture by making end-to-end encryption more accessible and efficient.
