[ietf-dkim] RFC4871bis - whether to drop -- x: Signature expiration

2009-05-30 13:16:48
Folks,


In:

   <http://mipassoc.org/pipermail/ietf-dkim/2009q2/011959.html>

Steve Atkins posted a list of suggested DKIM features to drop.

This note is intended to anchor a discussion thread for discusses one of those 
features, namely:


   DKIM-Signature Header tags

     x: Signature expiration

Expiration is a fairly common feature in signing specifications. But  
DK and DKIM are different in that the public key is not distributed to  
others, it's always under the control of the signer. Does this add  
anything that removing the DNS TXT record doesn't do? Is it used? Is  
it necessary?


Please discuss arguments for and against dropping this.
