 Goal:  Develop a secure protocol for machines to keep track of where each other are on the Internet (IP address) that doesn't rely on DNS.
 Why:  Because DNS does not scale to individual use, and there is no financial incentive for companies to develop an alternative.

 Problem:  Modern internet security is built on top of DNS.  Building an alternative to DNS on modern internet security is a non-starter.
 Solution:  Experiment with prototypes using lower-level security primitives.

 Theory:  A "chain" of signatures can be used to track changes in IP address of any given device to prevent forgery or replay attacks.
 Theory:  A sequence of signed packets can be used to track availability at an IP address to prevent forgery or replay attacks.
 Theory:  A sequence of signed packets can also be used to authenticate queries for network information to limit network abuse.
