A huge number of replicated servers have to have access to TLS keys, and a huge number of people have to be involved in the administration of those servers. And, to rely on TLS, you have to assure the integrity of the data within the whole store infrastructure, not just at the point that a file gets injected into it. The practical exposure is vastly worse than with end to end signing.
- ndriscoll 3y agoI suppose that's fair. Still, can't the play store app just always accept a Google signed package (possibly from a root CA that doesn't get used for other purposes)?
