Sorry if I'm missing something, but shouldn't this be called "Keyless TLS" as CloudFlare uses TLS and not SSL for this program?


From the article:

"This may seem confusing at first, but makes sense since TLS is just a minor update to SSL 3.0. Subsequent versions of TLS have followed this pattern. Since TLS is an evolution of the SSL protocol, people still use the terms TLS and SSL somewhat interchangeably."


Oops, must have missed that. Thanks! I'm personally a fan of using the new official name whenever possible but I understand the tradition/ingrained nature of SSL.
