My feeling is that nessus-mkcert and nessus-mkcert-client are relatively
simple hacks to help secure communications between client and server rather
than provide for a full-blown public key infrastructure.

If you're *really* concerned about security, you'll purchase / roll your
own PKI.  This way, you don't worry about things like the private key
for the CA, as generated by nessus-mkcert, lacking a password!
