FYI to the group: the latest DKIM Overview document is now out.

This represents a massive reworking of the overview document. I feel it
is hangs together much better now and is considerably more cogent.

Comments, please.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Domain Keys Identified Mail Working Group of 
the IETF.

                                                                                
           
        Title           : DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Overview
        Author(s)       : T. Hansen, et al.
        Filename        : draft-ietf-dkim-overview-05.txt
        Pages           : 32
        Date            : 2007-06-11
                                                                                
           
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) associates a "responsible" identity
with a message and provides a means of verifying that the association
is legitimate.  [RFC4871] DKIM defines a domain-level authentication
framework for email using public-key cryptography and key server
technology.  This permits verifying the source or intermediary for a
message, as well as the contents of messages.  The ultimate goal of
this framework is to permit a signing domain to assert responsibility
for a message, thus proving and protecting the identity associated
with the message and the integrity of the messages itself, while
retaining the functionality of Internet email as it is known today.
Such protection of email identity may assist in the global control of
"spam" and "phishing".  This document provides an overview of DKIM,
describes how it can fit into a messaging service, describes how it
relates to other IETF message signature technologies, and includes
implementation and migration considerations.

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
                                                                                
           
Send a message to:
        mailserv(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_)
In the body type:
        "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dkim-overview-05.txt".
                                                                                
           
NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
        how to manipulate these messages.
                                                                                
           
                                                                                
           
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
