	I think you really have two talks here. One is DNS and DNSSEC.

	The other is security as a whole. If you have followed some of
	the /. articles of late (I'm thinking of "John Gilmore Analyzes
	NSA Obstruction of Crypto In IPSEC" from Sat. 9/7 which takes
	you to http://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg12325.html
	I think the question really is, is there really any good
	security scheme which could be used with DNS and others.
	I would suggest we invite John Gilmore (founder of EFF) to
	come up and talk to us. To me this would be a much better
	attended talk (once word was put out), and of a higher value.
