Basically X.509 is "not secure enough". You need look no further than the comdo incident.

Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they plainly do not know about.

Both China Telecom and SK/Hanaro Telecom have *significant* US presences. China Telecom has a point of presence and IP space right (66.102.248.0/24 for example) in Herndon, and SK/Hanaro has several peerings in several US data centers. With the recent routing instability due to worldwide fiber cuts in the Pacific (think Japan) and a cross-Atlantic OC-192 outage, such a temporary routing path on a big peering center would no tbe unexpected. Next time, do a "traceroute -A" on a Linux system and combine with GeoIP from maxmind.com to determine where in the globe your traffic is going. You would be surprised. A lot of those "foreign" AS's are advertising IPs physically located in the US.

Peers reporting route changes: Altogether, 282 peers reported at least one route change. Actual route changes: There were 845 route changes. Actual outages: There were 30 actual outages.
