Yahoo! Mail Publishes Specification for DomainKeys
E-mail Authentication Solution Filed with IETF;
Alpha Version of Open Source Code Available
WHAT:
On Tuesday, May 18, Yahoo! announces the publication of its
specification on DomainKeys,
a cryptographic e-mail authentication solution to help fight spam.
DomainKeys: In order to attack spam at its roots, a powerful solution is
needed that can
verify the identity of the e-mail sender and put an end to spoofing and
forgery.
DomainKeys help fight spam by providing strong assurance of both the
sender's identity
and the integrity of the e-mail content through the use of
public/private key
cryptography.
On Monday, May 17, the company filed the spec as an Internet-draft with
the IETF
(Internet Engineering Task Force) standards body to begin the
standardization process.
Additionally, Yahoo! is currently developing a reference implementation
for DomainKeys
that can be plugged into Message Transfer Agents (MTAs), such as qmail.
An alpha version
of this software will be released under a royalty free license at
SourceForge.net.
WHERE:
The specification, license terms and FAQs are posted on Yahoo!'s
Anti-Spam Resource
Center: http://antispam.yahoo.com
The alpha version of the software will be hosted at SourceForge.net at:
http://sourceforge.net/index.php
