Dear [email protected], Is DNSSEC is not evil? To me it seems like the 1984 of domain name systems... Please take a good look at the political implications of DNSSEC. I personally do not understand why this Tor Project spec includes mention of DNSSEC: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/proposals/219-expanded-dns.txt
Can we use djb's DNSCurve instead of DNSSEC? Perhaps I misunderstand the situation and the difference between DNSCurve and DNSSEC. Perhaps "ZOMG someone is wrong on the Internet!" will spark someone else's interest in correcting me here in this discussion. I personally think that people mentioning DNSSEC on tor communications channels must either have an agenda to help the US government gain more control of the Internet... or they must be trolls. But maybe I am totally wrong about this. I'd be interested in hearing a correction if I am wrong... and does this mean the DJB is also wrong? =-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNSCurve If you want to know how Tor currently handles DNS then read this: https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/8/how-does-tor-route-dns-requests Sincerely, David On Mon, Sep 01, 2014 at 09:02:21AM -0700, [email protected] wrote: > I am surprised to find that there is no form of DNSSEC associated with > TOR.
