There is a problem with how the Internet works today:
These problems arise out of two core Internet protocols: DNS and X.509.
DNSChain offers a free and secure decentralized alternative while remaining backwards compatible with traditional DNS.
It compares favorably to the alternatives, and provides the following features: ︎
DNSChain | X.509 PKI with Certificate Transparency | |
---|---|---|
MITM-proof'ed Internet connections | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
Secure and simple GPG key distribution | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
MITM-proof RESTful API to blockchain | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
Free and actually-secure SSL certificates | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
Stops many denial-of-service attacks | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
Certificate revocation that actually works | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
DNS-based censorship circumvention | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
Prevents domain theft ("seizures") | :white_check_mark: | :x: |
Access blockchain domains like .bit , .p2p , .nxt , .eth |
:white_check_mark: | :x: |
Certificate transparency (publicly auditable log of certs) | :white_check_mark: | :white_check_mark: (maybe) |
