sure thing. we have invented something and now we are trying to apply it /s
how did the authorities and the chains of trust emerge in the first place? Is a system that uses a central authority more or less stable than a system that does not rely on the said authority?
- jayd16 5y agoMost consumer safety/encryption uses some kind of certificate chain with trusted roots. Its used from app installs to SSL to credit transactions. Seems to be very efficient, cheap and effective.
- rantwasp 5y agonah. you're talking the tech. I'm talking about the actual authority. What if someone decided that they would not issues you a cert? How would you do business at that point? But it's so efficient you says... Also, it's efficient up to the point where you have to revoke a certificate. At that point the fun starts.
