Re: [Ietf-dkim] DKIM update - header tag

-1.  The v= tag description is accurate.

There is no current DKIM design expectation for any other string value.  The 
current spec is `v=DKIM1`.  Any software writing `v=DKIM1.0` is technically 
“broken” and should not be encourage to exist or perpetuate.

IOW, software should not process the record if it’s not literally `v=DKIM1` and 
if the `v=` tag is missing, the default is `v=DKIM1`.

If software want to consider preparing for the future with different v= tag 
string values describing an extended DKIM specification, it is always possible 
to have this. But for the current spec and standard, `v=DKIM1` is the only 
expectation,  not `v=DKIM1.0` — there is no spec for this and the current spec 
is clear DKIM1 and DKIM1.0 are not the same,

Thanks

Just to clarify: Are you saying the identification of a DKIM record in the
DNS is uncertain unless "v=DKIM1" is present?

Yes, exactly, you are right. Although DKIM FQDN records must be in the 
format [selector]._domainkey.domain.tld, this not impact any records 
prepared to create CNAME for other domains. As for the internal format, 
if the record contains only a key (p="base64encodedkey"), it is 
difficult to verify whether it is really a DKIM record. Especially in 
the case of a corrupted encoded record.

[Ietf-dkim] DKIM update - header tag

2023-03-10 Thread Jan Dušátko

Dear,
I got recommendation to propose changes in that mailing group.
My work depend on appropriate protection of our brand, however this 
tasks require also management of records required for that protection. 
We have huge problem with identification of selector records required by 
DKIM and also this make for us problem with compatibility. We would like 
to strongly follow RFCs, but sometimes v=DKIM1 tag are resolved like 
issue as well as sometime missing of that tag do the same. This is a 
reason, why I would like to propose mitigation of problem, caused by 
word RECOMMENDED in standard RFC 6376:


v= Version of the DKIM key record (plain-text; RECOMMENDED, default
   is "DKIM1").  If specified, this tag MUST be set to "DKIM1"
   (without the quotes).  This tag MUST be the first tag in the
   record.  Records beginning with a "v=" tag with any other value
   MUST be discarded.  Note that Verifiers must do a string
   comparison on this value; for example, "DKIM1" is not the same as
   "DKIM1.0".

I would like to recommend change work RECOMMENDED to MANDATORY, where whole 
article be after change

v= Version of the DKIM key record (plain-text; MANDATORY, default
   is "DKIM1").  If specified, this tag MUST be set to "DKIM1"
   (without the quotes).  This tag MUST be the first tag in the
   record and this tag must exist.  Records beginning with
   a "v=" tag with any other valueMUST be discarded.  Note that
   Verifiers must do a string comparison on this value; for
   example, "DKIM1" is not the same as "DKIM1.0".
