You should read Ken Thompson's "Reflections on trusting trust". Outsourcing security to a tool which you have to blindly trust, and can't verify is very, very dangerous.

Anything based on PKI which at some unknown time in the future can be leaked or otherwise compromised is “blind trust”.
This is why perfect forward secrecy techniques have been developed.
