The main problem with whitelisting Tor is that you open the door to abuse.

Cloudflare is working on a new solution to this problem that allows us to differentiate between abusive visitors and legitimate users without de-anonymizing them.

If you’re a Cloudflare user and want to sign up for this feature, email onion-beta@cloudflare.com for details.

This is something more people should pay attention to when implementing forward secrecy. Session resumption counteracts forward secrecy when done incorrectly.

The key server only accepts mutually authenticated TLS 1.2 connections with a strong cipher suite. We also require both certificates to be signed by CloudFlare's internal Certificate Authority.

Breaking into a CloudFlare server does not get you this private key. CloudFlare does not keep this authentication key unencrypted on disk.

We find that Android 2.2 and 2.3 are also relevant platforms that require alternative toolchains. Upgrades are not possible for many of these devices.

As for setting up your CA, openssl's command line interface can be very clunky. CFSSL not only has a clean and simple command line interface, but it has a nice RESTful JSON API for simple integration into web services.

This is completely the wrong approach. Your private key might have been compromised and you're generating another certificate for the same compromised private key? What is that supposed to do?
