Trust is the keyword here. There's this old idea in the security world
called 'web of trust'. It may actually fit into this context (applied
correctly, of course).
Collegial, as in PGP Authoritative, as in the ITU's World e-Trust initiative.
If the certification means "among our group of limited size, we trust each others' attestations for matters of limited consequence" then a collegial WOT is fine.
If the certification means "any financial services business can trust the holder of this certification to keep its busy servers running" then the WOT needs public authority.
