If there’s one truly strange argument in DJB’s presentation, it’s on Page 39. Here, he complains that in DNSSEC, .org being signed doesn’t sign all the records underneath .org, like wikipedia.org.

I'm not sure this is an argument against DNSSEC, it's more of an argument against DNSSEC's marketing. The DNSSEC folks like to say that DNSSEC is deployed to .org. Well, that's technically true, but since no .org domains are signed themselves, this claim is useless. DNSSEC provides no real security currently.

I watched DJB's talk and I thought the first half was mostly for entertainment, rather than detailed discussion of the weaknesses of DNSSEC.
