Hi Mike, FYI there is a company called Netki is also working on a kind of DNSSEC > integration with BIP70, there's a thread here about their efforts: > > > > https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/bitcoinj/dnssec/bitcoinj/QFAH1F2dEwE/36oWDwREEV4J > > If you would like to work on this, perhaps it's worth teaming up with them? > Obviously they plan to have an open spec and open source implementation. > Netki's solution is incredibly limited, it's a single return value and no metadata (where OA encapsulates metadata in KV pairs). This does not lend itself well to handling BIP70-style communication. As an aside, they also seem to have a complete disregard for lookup privacy, which we address in OpenAlias by means of DNSCrypt encrypted lookups. To that end we have even written the first independent DNSCrypt implementation (ie. over-and-above dnscrypt-proxy) which provides a full Python implementation that uses libsodium / nacl if available, but falls back to a 100% Python slownacl implementation: https://github.com/openalias/dnscrypt-python Riccardo
