[Pdns-dev] Confirmation of DNSSEC flaws

FYI, Cache Poisoning was found to exist despite DNSSEC, exactly as I 
described it:

  Most officially, I discussed it in my DNSSEC NTIA comments:
  http://www.ntia.doc.gov/dns/comments/comment027.pdf
  in the section on Cache Poisoning.   Notably, Vixie et al disputed 
  this when discussed on DNSOP and namedroppers. Guess they were wrong
  again.

  If you want to engage in honest uncensored discussion of DNS issues,
  subscribe to dnsop-honest or namedroppers-honest through the interface
  at lists.iadl.org

  [*] See DNSSEC cache poisoning links contained in
  http://lists.iadl.org/pipermail/namedroppers-honest/2010-January/000074.html
  The IETF has known of these problems for a long time, and silenced me 
  to keep these problems quiet.

So, please be sure to credit me with discovering the DNSSEC flaws.

Funny, that.  Of course, there was nothing dishonest in covering this
up. And of course, there /wasn't/ anything dishonest in covering up the
fact that ECPA applied to ISPs back in the late 1990s (this was the
first thing I was silenced for)  
</sarcasm>

The same Vixie/Cerf crowd was involved in every case. I've been
vindicated/validated/confirmed in all cases.
