Hi JINMEI,

To some extend correct but not but it is not bound to that option. One
example is where you are in untrusted network like a Café. We assume that
you cannot trust your router or the router does not support SeND and you
really want to ensure that MITM attack will not happen during browsing any
websites (like your bank or etc) then you can always set an IP address of a
trusted resolver yourself. One example can be the use of an IP address of
the google resolver or any other resolver that supports cga-tsig (it can be
your home resolver as well). Your node can verify that using CGA/or SSAS
algorithm.

I hope I could answer your question. 
Smile,
Hosnieh
