Title : DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Service Overview
Author(s) : T. Hansen, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-dkim-overview-07.txt
Pages : 20

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) allows an organization to take
responsibility for a message, in a way that can be validated by a
recipient. The organization can be the author's, the originating
sending site, an intermediary, or one of their agent's. DKIM defines
a domain-level digital signature authentication framework for email,
using public-key cryptography and key server technology. This
permits verifying the signer of a message, as well as the integrity
of its contents. DKIM accomplishes this by defining a domain-level
authentication framework for email using public-key cryptography and
key server technology [RFC4871]. This permits verifying a message
source, an intermediary, or one of their agents, as well as the
integrity of its contents. DKIM will also provide a mechanism that
permits potential email signers to publish information about their
email signing practices; this will permit email receivers to make
additional assessments of unsigned messages. Such protection of
email identity can assist in the global control of "spam" and
"phishing". This document provides an overview of the DKIM service
and describes how it can fit into a messaging service. It also
describes how DKIM relates to other IETF message signature
technologies. It is intended for those who are adopting, developing,
or deploying DKIM.
