The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6376, "DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Signatures"
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://errata.rfc-editor.org/eid9038/ -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Steffen <[email protected]> Section 3.5 says: Original Text ------------- t= Signature Timestamp (plain-text unsigned decimal integer; RECOMMENDED, default is an unknown creation time). The time that this signature was created. The format is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970 in the UTC time zone. The value is expressed as an unsigned integer in decimal ASCII. This value is not constrained to fit into a 31- or 32-bit integer. Implementations SHOULD be prepared to handle values up to at least 10^12 (until approximately AD 200,000; this fits into 40 bits). Corrected Text -------------- Ditto, but 10^12 a.k.a. 40 bits is not AD 200,000. (Unless this goes in line with Paul McCartney's "three thousand or fouurr thouuuusand" in the Cavern Club appearance in 1999, the first after his wife died.) It rather is $ xa ' 10**12 / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365' 0b 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 01111011 11011101 075735 | 0x7BDD | 31709 (with 40 bits really being $ xa ' ((2**40) - 1) / 60 / 60 / 24 / 365' 0b 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 10001000 00110001 0104061 | 0x8831 | 34865) So "approximately AD 32000". Notes ----- Maybe an iterated DKIMv1 needs this clarification. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". Please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected.
