Our current thinking, which will be reflected in documents Real Soon Now is that we will provide a standard list of header fields that will be required to be signed by default -- signers can add to this if they wish. In each case we will sign all instances of a header field that are present (in the order they occur in the email) -- viz: we will specify oversigning by default.
Again: that warrants a BCP, not a protocol revision.
It also reduces the size of every (cautious) email by 383 bytes (766 if the oversigning is not default) ... and there's a carbon footprint issue here that we should not ignore without careful consideration
What percentage of an average email is that? d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net bluesky: @dcrocker.bsky.social mast: @[email protected] _______________________________________________ Ietf-dkim mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
