DNSSEC: Good Enough?

Phil Windley writes "DNS Security Extension, or DNSSEC, is a set of extensions to DNS, which provide end-to-end authenticity and integrity. Paul Mockapetris, the inventor of DNS believes DNSSEC is the answer to many of the identity problems on the Internet. He wants the IETF to get off the dime and approve the DNSSEC spec. A recent article in ZDNet TechUpdate interviews Mockapertis on DNSSEC (summary)."

Any solution that leaves DNS around in its current form is broken. DNS's centralized naming scheme is and endless source of annoying political problems.
