Like many things that appear to be common-sense these assumptions have
no empirical basis. A properly generated RSA certificate and key of
sufficient strength -- RSA k>=2048bits -- should provide protection
from brute force attacks for decades if not centuries. The usual way a
private key gets compromised is by theft or by tampering with its
generation. Putting yourself on a hamster wheel of constant
certificate generation and distribution simply increases the
