Your view of the world is far from universal.
In any case, if itis email authentication that you are after, putting certificates in yourrouter will not help you.
I never suggested putting certificates in a router.
Also, normal business practices can be very useful to establish the identity of people.
For sure, but I don't need to care about the identity of people if I have am given a signed ROA which checks out back to a trust anchor I am prepared to trust.
No crypto on routers involved. Joe
