A third party authorization label (TPA-Label) is a DNS-based prefix
for DKIM ADSP records that acts as a scheme for domains to authorize
acceptable third-party signatures for messages containing their
domain within the From header. This scheme allows Author Domains to
autonomously authorize a range of third-party domains using scalable,
individual DNS transactions. This authorization extends the scope of
DKIM signing practice assertions as a means to supplant more
difficult to administer schemes. Alternatives for facilitating
third-party authorizations currently necessitate the coordination
between two or more domains to synchronously set up selector/key DNS
records, DNS zone delegations, and/or the regular exchange of public/
private keys.
Checking TPA-Label Resource Records for signing practices may occur
when an Author Domain Signature is missing or is invalid and a Third
Party Signature exists. When a third-party signature is found, TPA-
Label Resource Record transactions offer an efficient means for
Author Domains to authorize specific third-party signing domains and
for recipients to determine whether an authorization exists. The
TPA-Label Resource Record scheme reduces reliance upon email source
reputation that is often based upon an IP address rather than the
domain.
