Re: Global PKI on DNS?

A modest, realistic ambition for a DNS-based PKI would be to improve
the security of the binding between DNS entries and the associated
machines

yes, I think this is right.  it eliminates some kinds of threats. but 
it still doesn't guarantee that you're talking to the service you think 
you're talking to. and that's a difficult distinction to communicate 
to users.

that and putting this much trust in the registries makes them very
attractive targets.
