[ietf-dkim] ISSUE: Streamline Abstract

2008-05-31 09:57:27

   An Abstract is circulated as the primary document summary.  As such, it 
should contain text that concisely explains the scope of the problem covered 
by the document and the nature of the solution defined in the document.

   The draft Abstract should be revised, per draft-levine-dkim-adsp-00:


OLD:

    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 Transport Agents (MTAs) or Mail
    User Agents (MUAs).  The primary DKIM protocol is described in
    [RFC4871].  This document describes the records that authors' domains
    can use to advertise their practices for signing their outgoing mail,
    and how other hosts can access those records.

NEW:

    DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a domain-level
    authentication framework for email to permit verification of the
    source and contents of messages.  This document specifies an adjunct
    mechanism to aid in assessing messages that do not contain a DKIM
    signature for the domain used in the author's address.  It defines a
    record that can advertise whether they sign their outgoing mail, and
    how other hosts can access those records.
