  • The Domain Name System (DNS) has been with us for a long time, turning host
    and domain names into IP addresses. Along the way, numerous flaws have
    been found in the protocol, including last year's Kaminsky DNS flaw, which just
    added to the clamor to see DNS replaced. But, DNS still hasn't gone away,
    and doesn't
    look like it will anytime soon, at least partially because its replacement,
    DNSSEC, doesn't really resolve all of
    the problems, and it creates some
    of its own    . A proposal by Daniel J. Bernstein (aka djb), called DNSCurve, has some interesting features that
    might make it a viable alternative to DNS and DNSSEC—perhaps one that
    can be widely
    adopted.
