A major limitation of the Web PKI is that it cannot issue certificates
for devices that do not own a public domain name or IP address.  To
solve this problem, I have created a proposal for incorporating a public
key in the domain name itself, allowing a server to be authenticated
without involving a third party.  The proposal can be found at
<https://demimarie.github.io/cryptographically-generated-domains.html>.

Is an implementation of this something that Chromium would be interested
in?  I do plan to propose this to the IETF, but first I want to check if
there is interest from browser vendors.
