[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 957594, member: 88686"] In my opinion, the whole DNSSEC paranoia is redundant. The reason nobody cares about it is that HTTPS/TLS is doing exactly what DNSSEC is doing. It validates the servers and checks that this is the actual domain. If not, connection closed. TLS is superior to DNSSEC in that it requires far less effort to set up by the admin. DNSSEC is really only important when you are using protocols other than HTTPS like email (SMTP). Your email provider/server needs to support DANE. But in browser, it would just duplicate what HTTPS is already doing and just add latency for nothing. [/QUOTE]
