Dave,

oops.  sorry.  no.

I meant:

      Title           : DomainKeys Identified Mail Overview
      Author(s)       : T. Hansen, et al.
      Filename        : draft-ietf-dkim-overview-00.txt

   DomainKeys Identified Mail DKIM [I-D.ietf-dkim-base] defines a
   domain-level authentication framework for email using public-key
   cryptography and key server technology to permit verification of the
   source and contents of messages by either Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs)
   or Mail User Agents (MUAs).  The ultimate goal of this framework is
   to permit a signing domain to assert responsibility for a message,
   thus proving and protecting message sender identity and the integrity
   of the messages they convey while retaining the functionality of
   Internet email as it is known today.  Proof and protection of email
   identity, including repudiation and non-repudiation, may assist in
   the global control of "spam" and "phishing".

   This document provides an overview of DomainKeys Identified Mail and
   how it can fit into overall messaging systems, how it relates to
   other IETF message signature technologies, implementation and
   migration considerations, and outlines potential DKIM applications
   and future extensions.
