Next, I hope they focus on issuing certificates for .onion addresses. On the modern web many features and protocols are locked behind HTTPS. The owner of a .onion has a key pair for it, so proving ownership is more trustworthy than even DNS.

But isn't it unnecessary to use https, since tor itself encrypts and verifies the identity of the endpoint?
