Cloudflare已宣布计划成为公共证书颁发机构（CA），正式向互联网加密基础设施领域扩展1。该公司已申请加入Chrome、Apple、Microsoft和Mozilla的根证书程序，以获得全球设备的广泛信任认可1。为确保证书的兼容性覆盖，Cloudflare已签署协议收购GlobalSign的成熟根证书1。
Cloudflare处理全球网络请求流量的20%以上，年均需要数百万份证书1。该公司将采用ACME开放标准协议提供自动化的免费证书管理和更新服务1。相比之下，Let's Encrypt目前每天颁发约1000万份证书，服务超过5亿个网站，截至2025年已突破40亿份活跃证书1。
在后量子密码学领域，Cloudflare计划成为首批签发后量子Merkle Tree Certificates（MTC）的CA之一，目标在2027年第一季度发行生产级MTC证书1。该公司将仅向支持RFC 9773标准ACME Renewal Information的客户端发行证书1。
Cloudflare has announced plans to establish itself as a public certificate authority (CA) and has applied for root certificate program recognition from Chrome, Apple, Microsoft, and Mozilla 1. The company has also signed an agreement to acquire GlobalSign's established root certificate to ensure the broadest possible device compatibility 1.
The infrastructure company, which handles more than 20% of global network request traffic and requires millions of certificates annually 1, will leverage the ACME open standard protocol to deliver free automated certificate management and updates 1. Cloudflare plans to become one of the first certificate authorities to issue post-quantum Merkle Tree Certificates, with production-level certificates targeted for release in the first quarter of 2027 1. The initiative will initially issue certificates exclusively to clients that support the RFC 9773 standard for ACME Renewal Information 1.
This move comes as Let's Encrypt, an existing major player in the space, issues approximately 10 million certificates daily and serves over 500 million websites, having surpassed 4 billion active certificates as of 2025 1.
