Even if one publishes the pub key somewhere. It is still like:
I, Michiel van der Vlist - self appointed Certified Authority - hereby declare
that when Michiel van der Vlist claims to be Michiel van der Vlist, he is
telling the truth. For verifications, download my public key from my website:
www.vlist.eu/pubkey.
A self signed certificate is usefull for testing the setup in the lab. For real
use in the big bad world it is useless.
Cheers, Michiel
