Summary
The documentation provides code and tooling examples exclusively for Windows environments, specifically using PowerShell for key and certificate generation. There are no equivalent instructions or examples for Linux or cross-platform environments, and Windows tools are mentioned first and exclusively.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux and cross-platform examples for generating symmetric keys (e.g., using OpenSSL, /dev/urandom, or Python scripts).
- Include instructions for generating self-signed certificates on Linux/macOS (e.g., using OpenSSL) alongside the PowerShell example.
- Explicitly mention that the provided PowerShell commands are for Windows, and offer alternatives for other operating systems.
- Reference cross-platform tools (such as OpenSSL) before or alongside Windows-specific tools to avoid the impression of Windows being the default or only supported environment.
