CloudFlare's Keyless SSL technology enables the company to provide its services without storing private SSL keys on edge servers. This enhances security for all customers, not just large enterprises, and allows for expansion of CloudFlare's global network. The current network consists of 28 data centers with high-security requirements. As the network expands, Keyless SSL ensures that customer data remains secure in various geopolitical environments. This technology is crucial for securing equipment in cell phone tower base stations and addressing technical challenges related to maintaining trust in potentially hostile environments.
