TLSA-DANE + DNSSEC verification of server certificate #721

Open

Description

This would solve a lot of problems with TOFU, enhance security and permit easy certificate changes. It should be of course completely optional and fall back to TOFU if no signed TLSA record is found.

A TLSA DANE record is easy to implement by the server DNS admin, if the DNS registrar supports automatic DNSSEC signing (e.g. ovh.com does).

James Tomasino has written a proof of concept client in rust, which is buggy, but I'm sure he'll fix it: https://github.com/jamestomasino/gemini-rust-tlsa

It would be good if such a popular Gemini browser would support this, so others can follow.
