DRAFT IETF WORKING GROUP CHARTER
8 Nov 2005
Domain Keys Identified Message (DKIM)
DESCRIPTION OF WORKING GROUP:
The Internet mail protocols and infrastructure allow mail sent from
one domain to purport to be from another. While there are sometimes
legitimate reasons for doing this, it has become a source of general
confusion, as well as a mechanism for fraud and for distribution of
spam (when done illegitimately, it's called "spoofing"). The DKIM
working group will produce standards-track specifications that allow
a domain to take responsibility, using digital signatures, for having
taken part in the transmission of an email message and to publish
possibly to publish
optionally to publish
- But I dont think this change makes any difference as far as what those
for and against policy records are saying about it.
"policy" information about how it applies those signatures. Taken
together, these will assist receiving domains in detecting (or ruling
out) certain forms of spoofing as it pertains to the signing domain.
"certain forms of spoofing" - very vague
