DANE would be a huge improvement toward enabling TLS for resource-constrained appliance-like devices. Right now, getting TLS on a BMC or an IoT-like device or a network switch or anything similar is utterly miserable. With DANE, the device could serve up a self-signed certificate with no expiration (what’s the point of expiring it anyway?) and the DNS zone could make it trusted using DANE.
