Re: SSP - 3rd party Signers - Definition/Usage

2005-07-28 16:32:24

 If a mailing list signs a message and does
 not change the FROM this is automatically a "3rd party" signing situation.


this is probably worth clarifying:

it is 'third party signing' if one is attempting to do an assessment based on 
the From field, rather than based on the signing field.

if the signing identity is assessed directly then what matters is the 
assessment 
of that identity, not whether it has "permission" from the From field identity.
