WebID-ISSUE-32 (nodns_webid): URIs with IP addresses and security [WebID Spec] http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/webid/track/issues/32 Raised by: Henry Story On product: WebID Spec A URL need not contain a domain name, and so need not be tied to DNS. For example: http://29.45.62.12/peter#me or https://29.45.62.12/peter#me What are the advantages? - Does it really bypass DNS? Does anyone ever get an IP address without a domain name? But how would security for such URLs work? If we think of pure https URLs the following questions arise - Do CAs certify IP addresses? - The advantage of placing public keys in DNSSEC with DANE would be lost So would this require a completely new way of securing the IP address?Received on Tuesday, 15 February 2011 12:49:39 UTC
