So anything as hardened as web SSL certs is probably a

No, not really.  The reasons why it's not a useful analogy should

Well, it beats me how one does a high-confidence security analysis of
an algorithm which doesn't even exist so I'm all ears and apologies if
it's just so gosh-darned obvious. A link to a paper or similar would
be more than sufficient for me anyhow, no need to spell it out here.
