Re: Vint Cerf

Not speaking about Vint obviously but not everything the elders of the internet did was all that secure either. In fact that IoT attack relied on IMHO the biggest vulnerability of the Internet with perhaps the exception of BGP and that is DNS which was never designed assuming mortal enemies might both be using (a lot of the elders were idealist long hairs). Also in the same ballpark is the complete circle jerk of trust that is x.509 but that is a whole other can of worms.
