Basically it means that I think that hierarchical trust doesn't work for me.
Basically it means that I think that hierarchical trust doesn't work for me. Instead of bank buying certificate from some authority I'm supposed to trust I'd rather infer that this certificate is associated with this domain because it's written in some form of blockchain, unalterable and verified by multiple parties. Honestly I have no idea how the current system is purported to work. And I just don't know what certificate is supposed to prove? That someone at some point in time had 100$ to spend on a cert? How's that more secure than self signed cert? Why browser warns about self-signed and not about others? All thing seems to me to be more of a security theatre and money making scheme than actual trust system that reflects reality in any way.
