How are you going to trust the public key?

HN doesn't seem to like Apple/Microsoft as trust brokers, and absent a trusted CA I don't see how this makes the problem any better.



You have to trust someone to build trusted chain. Trusted CA roots from SSL are good practical choice IMO. May be NSA or China government theoretically could crack that setup, but for other adversaries it would be much harder.
