[smc-discuss] The SSL certificate authority problem and DANE, its solution

[Pirate Praveen]

You can read this post for a rationale why we need DANE

Get this add on
https://addons.mozilla.org/cs/firefox/addon/dnssec-validator/

If you are using autistici.org services, you'd have noticed they use
their own ssl certificates and browsers show a warning when connecting
via https. Now with this addon, there is a new methid available to
browsers to authenticate the site in addition to the earlier manual
method of addin ca certs.

I hope people who are active in the mozilla community will push through
their contacts to get this implemented in all mozilla products.

It is a pity that mozilla is not planning to support this protocol
