DNSChainSito: https://okturtles.com/Video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QLaKW8ABy4We'll briefly describe some of the shortcomings of today's Internet security
(SSL/TLS, HTTPS, and Certificate Authorities), and why these systems do not provide
the security that they claim to provide. We'll focus on the importance that
authentication plays in securing communication systems, why a system that fails to
provide strong authentication does not provide meaningful security, and how these
problems can be addressed. We then introduce two projects that address these issues.
The first project, DNSChain, deprecates today's insecure and fraudulent public key 1
infrastructure (PKI) by gracefully transitioning DNS from its hierarchical design, to one
that is based on a globally distributed, peer-to-peer network that successfully "squares
Zooko's triangle".[1] We then use the strong authentication provided by DNSChain to
introduce okTurtles: a protocol and browser extension that protects the content of
almost all online text-based communication from a variety of threats (such as MITM).
