Hello,
Are you aware of DANE (RFC6698, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DANE) ?
It is a RFC which suggests holding certificates fingerprints in special
DNS records.
Since DNSSEC allows us to establish trust of these records, this is a
simple and robust alternative to CA-based trust models.
However, and AFAIK, it doesn't cope with entities that aren't accessed
through a hostname.
Have a good day,
