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-08.txt
Pages : 23
Date : 2008-02-11
This document provides an overview of the DomainKeys Identified Mail
(DKIM) service and describes how it can fit into a messaging service.
It also describes how DKIM relates to other IETF message signature
technologies. It is intended for those who are adopting, developing,
or deploying DKIM. DKIM allows an organization to take
responsibility for transmitting 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 agents.
An organization may use one or more domain names to accomplish this.
DKIM defines a domain-level digital signature authentication
framework for email, using public-key cryptography and key server
technology [RFC4871]. This permits verifying a message source, an
intermediary, or one of their agents, as well as the integrity of its
contents. DKIM will also provide a mechanism that permits potential
email signers to publish information about their email signing
practices; this will permit email receivers to make additional
assessments about messages. Such protection of email identity can
assist in the global control of "spam" and "phishing".

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dkim-overview-08.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.
