If this is nearly as interesting or useful than the original post it concerns, I did something wrong.


The author of this is missing the point of DNSSEC.

They seem to be confusing DNSSEC and functionality that is possible with DNSSEC (DANE/TLSA). Not only that, they don't seem to fully understand DANE (there are modes that complement the traditional CA model, not replace it).

DNSSEC is just another tool. It isn't a panacea.

I definitely urge readers to objectively research the technical aspects of DNSSEC and draw conclusions for themselves.


Good post. Interesting info.
