Re: SV: Re[2]: DNSSEC indicator

Yep - just like I said.  4 Swedish banks is not more than a fraction
of a percent of the Internet.  (that's not even starting on the fact
that banks all use SSL already, so DNSSEC doesn't get them anything
that they don't already have anyhow... and the holders of the .SE root
key invite you to email them so they can add "your favorite CA" to
their trust chain... http://www.dnssec.se/ca.html - so .SE's DNSSEC is
arguably less secure than SSL *already*) 

Kind Regards,
Chris Drake
