Ignore DNSSEC.

Technically, it is poorly designed unnecessarily causing a lot of
technical problems such as large message sizes.

But, the most serious defect of DNSSEC, or PKI in general, is that,
despite a lot of hypes, it is not cryptographically secure.
Social attacks on trusted third parties makes the parties
untrustworthy, which means PKI is merely socially or weakly
secure.

For security of interdomain routing, social security of trust
relationship between ISPs is just enough to which additional
social security by PKI is not helpful.

For security of DNS, social security of trust relationship between
ISPs and between zones are just enough to which additional social
security by PKI is not helpful.
