A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Review of Threats Associated with Email and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)
Author(s) : D. Otis
Filename : draft-otis-dkim-threats-00.txt
Pages : 22

This document is intended to provide an alternative perspective to
the document prepared by Jim Fenton for DomainKeys Identified Mail
(DKIM), although it borrows from his substantial effort. This review
removes emphasis on email-address domains, as DKIM allows signatures
to be independent of the email-address domains. This document also
considers the impact of adding an opaque-identifier and implementing
abusive replay abatement. This document considers threats against
Internet mail and threats created when employing a signature-based
method for establishing an accountable domain for a message, in
particular DKIM. This document also ranks threat levels, modes of
access, Bad Actors and their capabilities, and possible motivations
for various attack scenarios.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-otis-dkim-threats-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.
