Hi Joris,

I think it is all about domain registrars. You cannot prevent anyone
generating self-signed certificate. That is no problem, they are not
trusted by anyone. If you are talking about domain verified certificates
provided (for example) by LetsEncrypt, that will be solved by good
registrar policy as well. These certificates are generated only for
already available domains. You will not be able to verify your domain
unless registrar adds it into the TLD. If he refuses to add it for a
reason, you will not get trusted certificate for it as well.

If registrars do their job well, I think there is no more work required
for certificate providers. Do you agree?

Cheers,
Petr
