In the CA model is anything 100% yours? A signed cert has to depend on someone you dont know.

- taftster 7y agoUnless it's self-signed. Presumably you do know yourself well enough?

Likewise if it's signed by a CA run by someone else I actually know. The point of the signing is to have someone I trust validate that the cert they signed is trustworthy even if I don't know the entity that made the cert they signed.
