    That’s not necessarily very easy. These certs would have to show up in public certificate transparancy logs for most browsers to accept them. If this happens on a government scale it would surely get noticed, though the question remains what you’re left to do if the government forces it anyways…

    See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency section “Mandatory certificate transparency”

      admittedly, but i still assume that the CIA could do it if it tried.

      edit: thanks for the link though, this seems very interesting :D
