The Real Root CA
So I was walking to get a coffee the other day and passed this church which had a sign out front that stated:
If you can’t trust God
You can’t trust anyone.
It got me thinking about trust and relationships, not just personal but professional and even security relationships. The concept of trust is an interesting concept. How do we ever trust other people? Is it human instinct to want to trust people naturally, or is that a cultural instinct that differs from region to region? Obviously the family tree carries with it a certain level of trust, we implicitly trust our parents the same as a child Certificate Authority trusts its parents.
Later on that week I was talking to a colleague about the sign and about how putting that in context of security and CAs was kind of funny. He agreed and replied (and I’ll paraphrase): So that’s it! Verisign must have God on the payroll.
