At long last, here's a new, I hope final, version of the SSP draft. Notable changes include:
* The name is now ADSP, Author Domain Signing Practices * Per straw poll, the one-level tree walk is gone. The flags field in the ADSP record is gone, too, since there's no longer any flags. * Per what I hope is group consensus, lookup process is simplified to say that clients MUST do the NXDOMAIN check and MAY do more extensive checks to see if a domain exists, and if it doesn't, ADSP doesn't apply. * Address matching clarified to say that when comparing the author address to the signature address, Local-part matches are case sensitive, domain matches are not (that's consistent with RFC 821/2821), beyond that it's just a string match, in case anyone expected CNAME resolution or other canonicalization. * Discussion of wildcards redone to match lookup procedure. I'm pretty sure it's right, so if you disagree, please be specific. * Whitespace in ABNF is changed from WSP back to FWS, to make it consistent with the DKIM spec. (WSP makes more sense on its own, but I think we agree that consistency wins.) * Lots of minor cleanup to remove unused definitions and the like. R's, John ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2008 09:34:34 -0700 (PDT) From: IETF I-D Submission Tool <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A new version of I-D, draft-ietf-dkim-ssp-04.txt has been successfuly submitted by John Levine and posted to the IETF repository. Filename: draft-ietf-dkim-ssp Revision: 04 Title: DKIM Author Domain Signing Practices (ADSP) Creation_date: 2008-07-02 WG ID: dkim Number_of_pages: 19 Abstract: DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a domain-level authentication framework for email to permit verification of the source and contents of messages. This document specifies an adjunct mechanism to aid in assessing messages that do not contain a DKIM signature for the domain used in the author's address. It defines a record that can advertise whether they sign their outgoing mail, and how other hosts can access those records.
