The use of IPsec depends on an existing authentication infrastructure: There must be a way of distributing keys, either in a certificate tree or by distributing keys out-of-band. In a large network with many different management zones, this is difficult. It has been said over and over again that “IPsec doesn't scale”.

This presentation describes two experimental implementations that uses the existing DNS infrastructure for key distribution and, failing that, using anonymous keying, so called Better-than-nothing security (BTNS).
