The attacker would just dump the individual router's key instead and use the remote signer as a signing oracle to impersonate devices.

- CiPHPerCoder 7y agoThe owner/operator of the router could do that to their own device, yes. The idea is that each router would get a certificate signed with a distinct subdomain unique to that router. So you still can't impersonate other devices. It wouldn't be a generic domain or wildcard certificate. The remote signer would furthermore suspend suspicious connections (i.e. from multiple public IP addresses).
