Cloudflare has announced its intent to become a public certificate authority (CA), saying it is not issuing certificates yet but intends to do so. The company has laid out first concrete milestones, including applications for inclusion in the Chrome and Apple root programs. The move would put Cloudflare in direct competition with established certificate issuers and give it a bigger role in web encryption infrastructure.

Why now: Cloudflare's entry into the certificate authority business has major implications for web security and competition among existing CAs.
