Hello Alexey,

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
