Will DNSSEC make SSL CAs superfluous?
by Reilly on July 30, 2009 under Technology
For years now we’ve known that DNS is broken. Thankfully, a solution is on the way. DNSSEC provides a layer of security on top of the existing DNS architecture allowing clients to verify that the DNS information they receive has not been tampered with. In the next few years we should see (hopefully) widespread adoption of this standard. With DNSSEC in place we can trust DNS, and this leads to an interesting corollary. We might not need SSL certification authorities anymore.
