Yes. If doing it for the DNS root key is too politically challenging, maybe do it for one of the 1024-bit trust anchors in the browser root pile. Failing that, just do it for any 1024-bit key. Successes in the past for the RSA challenge have gotten movement to happen. --Paul Hoffman _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
