---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
This subgroup will research solutions for verifying and authenticating email messages and header information

Goals:
1. Research different approaches to doing message verification (Project Lumos, TEOS, DK, PKI, etc.). 2. Research into how to make sure that a message verification system does not divide the Internet into first and second class citizens (i.e. people who paid for certificates and people who did not). 3. Provide one or more draft charters for an IETF WG and associated documents. 4. Research pros and cons of message verification vs. SMTP session verification.

Status:
Currently in formation, will be starting in February of 2004.

Membership:
This subgroup has a closed membership policy, to join contact the ASRG chairs.

Participants:
o IETF and Internet experts knowledgeable in SMTP, DNS and other relevant protocols o People knowledgeable in architechtural issues surrounding email and the Internet, and with experience in deploying, managing and changing large scale systems o Security experts, especially knowledgable in securing large scale systems and PKI
o ISPs and MTA administrators
o Developers of MTAs and MUAs
o Developers of filters
