A certificate of trust and why I need it

Here’s a cleaned, tighter version that keeps your voice—direct, first-person, no fluff.


As I mentioned, I’m currently involved with a company called Helferline and I was also in contact with the Red Cross. Both asked me for a Führungszeugnis—so I got one.

Given the current state of society and my experience with different companies in various ways, I’ve been thinking about implementing a kind of Zero Trust mindset in life. 

Zero trust means "never trust (nobody, even myself), always verify". That means I want some verification that I can be trusted...as a person. 

With that certificate, I’m adding a new “security layer.”

In networking/security terms, you’d call this:

  • Certificate-based authentication (and authorization), built on a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).

  • If both sides verify each other with certificates (client and server), that’s mutual TLS (mTLS).

This is my way to show you that I can be trusted and my record is clean. Now—do you have something similar so I can trust you? Think about it.
