> Current desktop OSes don’t offer fine grained permissions
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression was that Windows offers several certificate stores on several security levels (AD-domain, machine, user), each one able to separately set ACLs for the certificate container, the individual certificate and the private key.
Just because Linux and OSX doesn't support fine grained permissions, doesn't mean "current desktop OSes" doesn't. In fact the dominant desktop OS out there does this just fine and has for decades.
It's the niche hipster-OSes used by developers and security experts (like Linux and Mac OS) which lacks this fine grained control (and I'm saying this as a Linux user).
No need to say that what the guy asks for doesn't exist, when it clearly does in the OS with the clear majority market-share.
Or... Again... Am I missing something crucial or really obvious here?
