It is already reduced to the initial handshake. That is exactly what a CA does. But perhaps you are right that a CA should sign certificates based on influence-weighted pseudonymous votes rather than simply receipt of payment! Should CA's require payment in bitcoins?
- icebraining 15y agoIt's only reduced to the initial handshake if every single CA¹ keeps their signing certs protected. We've seen more than once that this is not always true. ¹ (remember, even if you have a cert with a specific CA, nothing technically prevents a cert from being signed with another CA's certificate).
