Technical Summary
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) 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
protecting message signer identity and the integrity of the messages
they convey while retaining the functionality of Internet email as it
is known today.
Working Group Summary
The DKIM working group spent a good deal of effort refining this
specification, along with the preceding DKIM threats document. This
document represents the broad consensus of the DKIM working group.
Protocol Quality
The protocol is a result of work over about one-and-a-half years prior
to its introduction to the IETF, and one-half year since. There are
three or four implementations of current protocol specification, and
the implementations are shown to interoperate.
This document was reviewed by Russ Housley for the IESG.
