[Asrg] 6 - Yahoo Domain Keys

2004-05-18 21:57:32

Domian keys works for me :)

Except I believe provision should be made for any intervening MTA's to add
their own Domain Key
thus allowing the injection point be traced for legacy mail systems.

Regards
Chris

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
