A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Domain Keys Identified Mail Working Group of
the IETF.
Title : DomainKeys Identified Mail Overview
Author(s) : T. Hansen, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-dkim-overview-00.txt

DomainKeys Identified Mail DKIM [I-D.ietf-dkim-base] defines a
domain-level authentication framework for email using public-key
cryptography and key server technology to permit verification of the
source and contents of messages by either Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs)
or Mail User Agents (MUAs). The ultimate goal of this framework is
to permit a signing domain to assert responsibility for a message,
thus proving and protecting message sender identity and the integrity
of the messages they convey while retaining the functionality of
Internet email as it is known today. Proof and protection of email
identity, including repudiation and non-repudiation, may assist in
the global control of "spam" and "phishing".
This document provides an overview of DomainKeys Identified Mail and
how it can fit into overall messaging systems, how it relates to
other IETF message signature technologies, implementation and
migration considerations, and outlines potential DKIM applications
and future extensions.

Send a message to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dkim-overview-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
