The CA model is deemed broken for Bitcoin.\n📝 Original message:I like the user at server.com model. The protocol should be done entirely\nin DNS, though, not using HTTP connections to the server. Then the\nprotocol can easily be used with Namecoin or other DNS\nreplacements/enhancements later. Crypto to prevent MITM attacks can be\nan optional part of the protocol.\n\nAlmost all users will be unable to set up *any* always-on Internet\nservice to answer queries, so I'm not too concerned about how easy it is\nto set up the server software.\n\nI agree that FirstBits is bad for this. Unlike DNS, \"registrations\" last\nforever because private keys can't be transferred safely. All short\nnames will be taken quickly. It will also be very expensive for clients\nto query this themselves.\n\nThe CA model is broken and it should never be used by Bitcoin."}
