Re: [ietf-dkim] New Issue: Base: Upgrade indication and protection against downgrade attacks

2006-02-16 11:39:32



Having an agility approach that we like more than any other approach, and that just happens to be robust against downgrade attack, is different than focusing on the concern for downgrade attack.

Right. There are any number of reasons why we may have to change
algs. Security attacks, costs, IP claims...


So forgive me for being so dense -- even though I assume folks are used to that by now -- but DKIM already supports multiple signatures (including permitting alternate algorithms).

So I am now entirely unclear what change is needed and what problem is being pursued, by the current thread.
