If you're getting "Untrusted device" on your Chromecast today, you're not alone. It looks like an expired cert.
You're viewing a single thread.
Those certificates should not exist in first place. That is just a bad design.
You think that traffic should be unencrypted?
It's possible to encrypt traffic without a cert that expires.
I don't know much about how Chromecast works but my bet is that it's like a hacked together lighthttp or nginx server, which is why it needs a SSL cert renewal.
If I remember correctly I have seen an nginx page in combination with some chromecast device.
