Research direction

Start by reading the linked DNS CERT/PKA HOWTO and clarifying how this proposal should integrate with GnuPG and Keybase's existing key distribution. Define the expected DNSSEC requirement and the user-visible completion criteria before identifying implementation and test locations.
