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 (DKIM) Service Overview
Author(s) : T. Hansen, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-dkim-overview-06.txt
Pages : 20

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) allows an organization to take
responsibility for a message, in a way that can be validated by a
recipient. The organization can be the author's, the originating
sending site, an intermediary, or one of their agent's. DKIM defines
a domain-level digital signature authentication framework for email,
using public-key cryptography and key server technology. This
permits verifying the signer of a message, as well as the integrity
of its contents. The ultimate goal of this framework is to permit a
signing domain to assert responsibility for a message, thus proving
and protecting the identity associated with the message and the
integrity of the messages itself, while retaining the functionality
of Internet email as it is known today. Such protection of email
identity can assist in the global control of "spam" and "phishing".
This document provides an overview of the DKIM service and describes
how it can fit into a messaging service. It also describes how DKIM
relates to other IETF message signature technologies.

Send a message to:
mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dkim-overview-06.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.
