using public-key technology and the DNS to prove the provenance and
contents of an email. This document defines the base framework of digitally
signing email on a per-domain basis. Subsequent documents leverage this
base framework to prove and validate email delivery paths as well as extend
signing to facilitate per-user authentication. The ultimate goal of this
framework is to unequivocally prove and protect identity while retaining
the semantics of Internet email as it is known today. Proof and protection
of email identity may assist in the global control of "spam" and
intended as a definitive or final specification, rather, the intent is to
define a framework and sufficient technical detail to promote experimental
deployment with a view to evolving into a comprehensive authentication
standard for email.
