#4 Re: More good news from the world's Prison Guard Posted by simonw (84.45.xx.xx) on Sat 14 Apr 2007 at 13:57 I was hoping for more mature commentary on technical issues here. DNS can be spoofed, it is also vulnerable to man in the middle attacks. DNSSec deals with these problems. The US government already controls the root zone on the Internet, all this proposal would do would ensure that the data you get back, is the data that was published, and not something injected by an untrustworthy third party. The freedom you lose is the freedom to impersonate others as easily, which is already illegal in most countries anyway. I too expect it will be as successful as IPv6 but this is a technical security measure, not some draconian invasion of some imagined freedom.
