3 Seconds to Generate a Cryptographic Cert, 3 Hours Trying to Get It Trusted: The Trust Distribution Bottleneck
A developer recently rewrote a 2012 self-signed certificate generator in Go as a zero-dependency binary, proving that cryptography is now trivial. However, the real challenge remains The Trust Distribution Bottleneck. Bridging the gap between local development shortcuts and enterprise-level security policies is significantly harder than generating the certificates themselves.
