Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias, especially in the 'How-to guide' sections for generating symmetric and asymmetric keys. PowerShell is used exclusively for key and certificate generation, with no equivalent Linux/macOS commands or tooling mentioned. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, New-SelfSignedCertificate) are referenced without alternatives, and Windows examples are presented first and solely. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who must find their own solutions for these steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS commands for generating symmetric keys (e.g., using openssl or dd).
  • Include instructions for generating self-signed certificates on Linux/macOS (e.g., using openssl).
  • Reference cross-platform tools and scripts where possible.
  • Explicitly state that the PowerShell examples are for Windows and offer alternatives for other platforms.
  • Consider reordering examples to present cross-platform or Linux/macOS options alongside or before Windows-specific instructions.
