Summary
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias. All command-line examples for generating cryptographic keys and certificates use PowerShell, a Windows-specific tool. The guide for creating a self-signed certificate only provides a PowerShell example and explicitly references the Windows environment. There are no equivalent Linux or cross-platform command-line examples (e.g., using OpenSSL or Bash). The documentation does not mention or link to Linux tools or workflows, and Windows tools are presented as the default and only option.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS examples for generating symmetric keys (e.g., using OpenSSL or /dev/urandom in Bash).
  • Add instructions for creating self-signed certificates on Linux/macOS using OpenSSL.
  • When referencing platform-specific tools (like PowerShell), clarify that the instructions are for Windows and provide alternatives for other platforms.
  • Consider using cross-platform tools or scripts where possible, or at least link to relevant Linux documentation.
  • Reorder or parallelize sections so that Linux and Windows instructions are given equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
