Hi,

ARC implies a reliable global reputation system, which only giant providers can afford.

Not necessarily. It only imply that the evaluator has some reason to consider acceptable that this particular message be handled by this particular forwarder.

If, for example, the evaluator can know for sure that the author designated in the From field really sent a message to the forwarder immediately before the forwarded message came in, the probability that the message is genuine is much higher [1].

Beginning of this month, I proposed an idea to achieve just that.

Cheers,
Baptiste


note [1]:
indeed, the attack model then changes from "send a message with a faked From header" (easy) to "somehow have your target send you a genuine message so you can modify and forward it" (possible, but much harder, needs a targeted attack). Only high profile targets need to care about the second type of attack.
