It's more than icons and design.
Users. Do. Not. Understand. Certificates.
If the word "certificate" or "public key" or "private key" appears anywhere in the process, it's a non-starter. If they have to select a certificate from a list, look at a "fingerprint", or deal with any other jargon like "x509" or "certificate authority" or anything along those lines, it's dead in the water.
