[ietf-dkim] New signature algorithm deployment amidst non-updated verifiers

2006-05-25 14:13:52
A section may prove useful explaining how a new signature algorithm should be rapidly deployed while also avoiding disruption. (Handling a worst-case scenario.)

The issues to cover while assuming use of non-updated verifiers are:

1) Expectations of a domain's messages being signed, when new algorithms are ignored.

2) Selection of a signature when more than one is available from the same domain.

3) Differentiating between unimplemented and spoofed algorithms during a transition phase.
