A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : DKIM Security Concerns
Author(s) : D. Otis
Filename : draft-otis-dkim-security-concerns-01.txt
Pages : 24
Date : 2006-6-27
This document describes a few security concerns remaining within the
working group draft of the DKIM base document. As the base document
is a work-in-progress, some issues may have been already resolved.
As with many protocols, accommodations for convenience are balanced
against possible negative security repercussions. This draft
attempts to expand upon some of these repercussions. In addition,
some threat scenarios may have been considered too improbable to
warrant the inclusion of mechanisms exceeding prior strategies. This
draft attempts to justify added precaution. And lastly, some
considerations may have neglected a transformation occurring with the
display of the email-address localpart and domain impacting a
recipient's recognition. This draft offers minor remedies for these
security related issues.

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.
