	Title		: Domain-based Email Authentication Using Public-Keys 
			  Advertised in the DNS (DomainKeys)
	Author(s)	: M. Delany
	Filename	: draft-delany-domainkeys-base-02.txt
	Pages		: 39
	Date		: 2005-3-28
	
"DomainKeys" creates a domain-level authentication framework for email
by using public-key technology and the DNS to prove the provenance and
contents of an email.

This document defines the base framework of digitally signing email on
a per-domain basis. Subsequent documents leverage this base framework
to prove and validate email delivery paths as well as extend signing
to facilitate per-user authentication.

The ultimate goal of this framework is to unequivocally prove and
protect identity while retaining the semantics of Internet email as it
is known today. Proof and protection of email identity may assist in
the global control of "spam" and "phishing".

While this document presents technical details, it is not yet intended
as a definitive or final specification, rather, the intent is to
define a framework and sufficient technical detail to promote
experimental deployment with a view to evolving into a comprehensive
authentication standard for email.

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-delany-domainkeys-base-02.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.
