DANE binds TLS certificates to DNS via DNSSEC — but only 30 of 5.5M scanned domains use it. Inside RFC 7672, TLSA records, NIS2, and DANE vs MTA-STS.
ARC email authentication preserves SPF, DKIM, and DMARC verdicts across forwarding hops in 2026. See real i=1 and i=2 headers, cv=fail debugging, and trusted-sealer fixes. Analyze a chain free.
