Being able to verify signatures is of no value.

The system only has value when you can act differently according to
whether the signature verifies or not.


I keep asking, but nobody will tell me how I get the keys for my
domains into the TLD.

This is not a trivial issue. There is a question of liability to be
addressed. So far ICANN and VeriSign Registry Services have addressed
the issue by booting it down the chain. But the system as a whole
cannot work until there is someone willing to accept the liability and
for that to happen they are going to require tools to manage their
litigation risk.

Does anyone know of a dotcom registrar offering key signing?

Or is the big plan here that everyone who is not going to accept
liability keep complaining about how far behind the registrars are
until they are forced to act?
