DESCRIPTION:
Forgery of headers that indicate message origin is a problem for users of
Internet mail. This BOF seeks to initiate the MASS working group, to produce
specifications that permit authentication of message headers during transit,
using public-key signatures and based on domain name identifiers, with keys
stored in the responsible identity's DNS hierarchy. A multi-month, multi-vendor
effort has produced the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) specification --
<draft-allman-dkim-base-00.txt> and <draft-allman-dkim-ssp-00.txt>. They
integrate Yahoo DomainKeys and the Cisco Identified Internet Mail proposals. TheDKIM documents are being offered as input to an IETF standardization process
