I also use dns-sec and feed it to my devices. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matthew Gillen Sent: Monday, November 24, 2014 1:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Discuss] free SSL certs from the EFF
Related to the discussion of how X509 is broken and various hacks to make it work: What I would really like to see is a scheme adopted like SPF for mail: a TXT DNS entry for your domain that has the CA (or a fingerprint for the CA, or maybe the whole public cert). That way you can be unequivocal about who the valid CA for your domain is. To me that would solve the biggest problem with the "set of 'trusted' CAs" issue. This is not without new attack vectors: you can only trust DNS responses as far as DNS-SEC goes, which unfortunately ends one-hop before end-systems (unless you run your own DNS server and force everything on your home network to use that; which I do but don't know how common that is).
