minus-squareJWBananas@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down1·1 year agoAre you conflating self-signed and untrusted? Self-signed is fine if you have a trusted root deployed across your environment.
minus-squarenickwitha_k (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·1 year agoCorrect. If using actual pki with a trusted root and private CA, you’re just fine. I took the statement to mean ad-hoc self-signed certs, signed by the server that they are deployed on. That works for EiT but defeats any MitM protection, etc.
