It looks like an alternative for DNS. ?

Kind of interesting, but I wonder how it works with security implications.

My guess would be that it doesn't. A public DHT can ensure that data is not corrupted or changed, but you cannot prevent others from seeing your data.

I think the DHT is just used to address peers and do NAT negotiation. There is no need for every message to go through the DHT.
