  1. Can MAAWG bring a coherent view to the goals of SSP? MAAWG Toronto, 2006 D. CrockerBrandenburg InternetWorkingbbiw.net

  2. What is SSP… so far? • DKIM links a (domain) name to specific message <http://dkim.org/ietf-dkim.htm> • SSP lets owner of a name publish statements about their DKIM practices • Standard mechanism for publishing information • Core set of information (still being developed) • Examples might be: • I sign all my mail—if it ain’t signed, it ain’t mine. • I send no mail — if it’s from me, it ain’t from me.

  3. Some Points of Debate • Should initial specification include many practices that can be published or only a few? • Should the practices be specific to DKIM? • Perspective • “Policy” vs. “Practice” • Sender describing self, versus trying to “dictate” what recipient should do • Efficiency/overhead…

  4. A Problem of Focus • There many possible practices that authors/senders could be published and might be interesting… • I never send HTML-based content • I write American English only • I never swear • Receive filters might use any of these constructively • However… • A global standard (especially its first version) needs to focus on a few, concrete, global needs • Focus on basic features, not a myriad of esoterica

  5. A Role for MAAWG with SSP • Formulate some industry consensus… • on a few basic bits of information that receive-side filtering would find highly useful… • if only senders would publish it in a standardized way. In other words, help the IETF effort focus on real and immediate market needs

  6. MAAG Helping DKIM Adoption • How to get more industry momentum on using DKIM? • If you plan to sign or validate DKIM by 6/07 • Please participate in a joint announcement, to be made soon, of this intent • Send me dcrocker@bbiw.net a private note • I will coordinate, to find a common statement that participants can agree on.
