Could this be simplified by doing the following:

  - Write code that proovably creates a unique root certificate for the machine it is on. 
  - get a root CA to certify this - and so have it work on all machines automatically

   Is that something one could do? If one could prove that the code can do absolutely no harm, perhaps a root CA would be willing to sign it? 

  ( But I may not have understood the process yet)
