You can't do software updates securely, but it strikes me that compromising the revocation process is a good thing. Suppose you can use a key to sign a message saying "stop using this". If someone else breaks that key and falsely signs that message, what are the downsides? You revoke a cert because you lose control of it; if someone else can falsely revoke that cert, doesn't that truthfully send the exact same signal? That you lose control of it? |
