What stops them from using SSL between CloudFlare and the 'oracle'?
- delinka 12y agoNot a thing. Not exactly an interesting implementation, but then it doesn't have to be-- normal SSL should work just fine. That said, silliness can lead to a recursive/"turtles all the way down" kind of issue.
- JshWright 12y agoNot really. This while dance is necessary because it's (effectively) impossible to revoke certs on millions of end user systems. It's _far_ easier to handle revocation on a couple trusted endpoints (especially when you own the CA), so 'normal' TLS does the job here just fine. No need for more turtles.
