  Well for this GNS... 1. the focus is still on human readable names and converting that to an IP. 2. the IP address seems plain text to anyone who requests it. Not a key encrypted blob. So. Not really like what I was describing at all. Maybe it could be tweaked to behave like I wish and it could solve the other aspects of such a service already.

    There are some Video presentations to GNUNet and the newest one on the GNS subcomponent mentions "Record confidentiality" - Values in the Table are signed and encrypted by the zone owner. To query a zone you'd first have to get the key of the zone owner, accomplishing what you requested, right? https://www.gnunet.org/en/video.html https://www.gnunet.org/en/video.html The Videos are kind of hard to watch, so maybe the slides are enough to understand how it's supposed to work: https://git.gnunet.org/presentations.git/plain/icann66/20191105_icann66_gns.pdf https://git.gnunet.org/presentations.git/plain/icann66/20191...

      :-) Thank you so much for that extra effort of providing information links to clearly explain concepts. I am picturing the use case of such a service as different to how we use DNS today, but I think this would support it.
