Requirements for a DomainKeys Identified Mail Signing Practices Protocol
RFC 5016, “Requirements for a DomainKeys Identified Mail Signing Practices Protocol”, is an Informational document published in October 2007 by M. Thomas. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) provides a cryptographic mechanism for domains to assert responsibility for the messages they handle. A related mechanism will allow an administrator to publish various statements about their DKIM signing practices. This document defines requirements for this mechanism, distinguishing between those that must be satisfied (MUST), and those that are highly desirable (SHOULD). This memo provides information for the Internet community.
