What are you doing about TOFU and MITM?

Our host keys are published here and are durable: https://pico.sh/host-keys

  • So approximately nothing?

    • Perhaps giving a bit more information than throwing out random acronyms related to SSH would be a bit more fruitful in terms of responses.

      What about TOFU and MITM would you like them to respond to? TOFU isn't inherently a bad thing. Neither is MITM. It depends on the threat model, the actors involved, etc.

      Your comment (and the snarky followup) imply they're doing something wrong, but it's unclear what.

    • There is nothing that can be done beyond what they are doing?

      You can receive their public keys out-of-band through an https-authenticated connection. Which means their approach to "the initial trust problem" is _not_ "trust on first use".
