1. Introduction
[DKIM] defines a mechanism for transparent domain-level signing of
messages for the purpose of declaring that a particular
ADministrative Management Domain (ADMD) takes some responsibility for
a message.
DKIM, however, deliberately makes no binding between the DNS domain
of the Signer and any other identity found in the message. Despite
this, there is an automatic human perception that an Author Domain
Signature (one for which the RFC5322.From domain matches the DNS
domain of the Signer) is more valuable or trustworthy than any other.
To enable a third party to apply DKIM signatures to messages, the
DKIM specification suggests delegation to a third party of either
subdomains or private keys, so that the third party can add DKIM
Kucherawy Experimental [Page 2]
RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
signatures that appear to have been added by the Author ADMD. Absent
is a protocol by which an Author ADMD can announce that messages
bearing specific valid DKIM signatures on its mail, which are added
by other ADMDs, are to be treated as if they were signed by the
Author ADMD itself. This memo presents an experimental mechanism for
doing so, called Authorized Third-Party Signatures (ATPS).
ATPS augments the semantics of DKIM by providing to the Verifier
multiple identifiers rather than one. Specifically, it validates the
identifier found in the DKIM signature, and then provides the
RFC5322.From domain for evaluation.
This memo also registers, per [AUTHRES], the means to indicate to
agents downstream of the Verifier that a third-party signature
verification occurred.
2. Definitions
2.1. Key Words
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [KEYWORDS].
2.2. Email Architecture Terminology
Readers are advised to be familiar with the material and terminology
discussed in [MAIL] and [EMAIL-ARCH].
3. Roles and Scope
The context of this protocol involves the following roles:
o ADministrative Management Domains (ADMDs), whose DNS domain
name(s) appear in the RFC5322.From field of a [MAIL] message;
o ATPS Signers, which apply [DKIM] signatures using their own
domains, but on behalf of the message Author's ADMD; and
o the Verifier, who implements the signature validation procedures
described in [DKIM].
An ADMD implements this protocol if it wishes to announce that a
signature from any in a set of specified DNS domains is to be
considered equivalent to one from the ADMD itself. For example, an
ADMD might wish to delegate signing authority for its DNS domain to
an approved messaging service provider without doing the work of key
transfer described in Appendix B.1.1 of [DKIM]. An authorized ATPS
Kucherawy Experimental [Page 3]
RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
Signer makes a claim of this relationship via new tags in the DKIM
signature, and the ADMD confirms this claim by publishing a specific
TXT record in its DNS.
A Verifier implements this protocol if it wishes to ensure that a
message bears one or more signatures from sources authorized to sign
mail on behalf of the ADMD, and identify for special treatment mail
that meets (or does not meet) that criterion. It will do so by
treating the Signer's authorization on behalf of the Author's ADMD to
mean that the Signer's signature is equivalent to one affixed by the
Author's ADMD.
4. Queries and Replies
This section describes in detail the queries issued, the replies
received, and how they should be interpreted and applied.
4.1. Hash Selection
The Author's ADMD will indicate authorization of a third party to
sign its mail via the presence of a DNS TXT record that contains an
encoding of the third party's DNS domain name. There are two
supported methods for doing so -- one that involves a plain copy of
the third party's DNS domain name, and one that involves an encoded
version of the name. The encoding mechanism is provided so that any
domain name can be added to the DNS in a fixed length, so that longer
third-party domain names are not excluded from participation because
of the overall length limit on a DNS query.
If selected, the encoding mechanism requires constructing a digest of
the third party's DNS domain name. The Author ADMD MUST select a
digest ("hash") method currently supported by DKIM (see Section 7.7
of [DKIM]), and this selection needs to be communicated to the ATPS
Signer, as it is used in generation of the third-party signatures.
Where the encoding mechanism is not used, the ATPS Signer MUST use a
hash name of "none".
The full DNS mechanism is specified in Section 4.3.
Kucherawy Experimental [Page 4]
RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
4.2. Extension to DKIM
[DKIM] signatures contain a "tag=value" sequence. This protocol will
add additional tags called "atps" and "atpsh".
When the ATPS Signer generates a DKIM signature for another ADMD, it
MUST put its own domain in the signature's "d" tag, and include an
"atps" tag that has as its value the domain name of the ADMD on whose
behalf it is signing.
The tag name that carries the name of the selected hash algorithm is
"atpsh". This tag MUST also be included, as it is required as part
of the algorithm that will be enacted by the Verifier.
The formal syntax definition, per [ABNF], is as follows:
dkim-atps-tag = %x61.74.70.73 *WSP "=" *WSP domain-name
dkim-atpsh-tag = %x61.74.70.73.68 *WSP "=" *WSP
( "none" / key-h-tag-alg )
"domain-name" and "key-h-tag-alg" are defined in [DKIM]. Note that
according to [DKIM], internationalized domain names are to be encoded
as A-labels, as described in Section 2.3 of [IDNA].
The registration for these tags can be found in Section 8.
4.3. ATPS Query Details
When a [DKIM] signature including an "atps" tag is successfully
verified, and is considered acceptable to the Verifier according to
any local policy requirements (which are not discussed here or in
[DKIM]), the Verifier compares the domain name in the value of that
tag with the one found in the RFC5322.From field of the message. The
match MUST be done in a case-insensitive manner.
If they do not match, the "atps" tag MUST be ignored.
If they do match, the Verifier issues a DNS TXT query, as specified
below, looking for confirmation by the Author ADMD that the ATPS
Signer is authorized by that ADMD to sign mail on its behalf. Where
multiple DKIM signatures including valid "atps" tags are present,
these queries MAY be done in any order or MAY be done in parallel.
Where the RFC5322.From field contains multiple addresses, this
process SHOULD be applied if the "atps" tag's value matches any of
the domains found in that field. These MAY be done in any order.
Kucherawy Experimental [Page 5]
RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
Note that the algorithm uses hashing, but this is not a security
mechanism. See Section 9.2 for discussion.
The name for the query is constructed as follows:
1. Select the hash algorithm from the "atpsh" tag in the signature.
If the hash algorithm specified does not appear in the list
registered with IANA as one valid for use with DKIM (see
Section 7.7 of [DKIM]), and is not the reserved name "none" as
described above, abort the query.
2. Extract the value of the "d=" tag from the signature.
3. Convert any uppercase characters in that string to their
lowercase equivalents.
4. If the selected hash algorithm is not "none", apply the following
additional steps:
A. Feed the resulting string to the selected hash algorithm.
B. Convert the output of the hash to a string of printable ASCII
characters by applying base32 encoding as defined in
Section 6 of [BASE32]. The base32 encoding is used because
its output is restricted to characters that are legal for use
in labels in the DNS, and it is evaluated the same way in the
DNS whether encoded using uppercase or lowercase characters.
5. Append the string "._atps."
6. Append the domain name found in the "atps" tag of the validated
signature.
The query's formal syntax definition, per [ABNF], is as follows:
atps-query = ( 1*63BASE32 / domain-name )
%x2e.5f.61.74.70.73.2e domain-name
BASE32 = ( ALPHA / %x32-37 )
The width limit of 63 on the base32 encoding is based on the maximum
label limit as defined in Section 2.3.4 of [DNS].
See Appendix A for an example of a query construction.
Kucherawy Experimental [Page 6]
RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
4.4. ATPS Reply Details
In the descriptions below, the label NOERROR symbolizes DNS response
code ("rcode") 0, and NXDOMAIN represents rcode 3. See Section 4.1.1
of [DNS] for further details.
At this time, only three possibilities need to be identified in this
specification:
o An answer is returned (i.e., [DNS] reply code NOERROR with at
least one answer) containing a valid ATPS reply. In this case,
the protocol has been satisfied and the Verifier can conclude that
the signing domain is authorized by the ADMD to sign its mail.
Further queries SHOULD NOT be initiated.
o No answer is returned (i.e., [DNS] reply code NXDOMAIN, or NOERROR
with no answers), or one or more answers have been returned as
described above but none contain a valid ATPS reply. In this
case, the Signer has not been authorized to act as a third-party
Signer for this ADMD, and thus the Verifier MUST continue to the
next query, if any.
o An error is returned (i.e., any other [DNS] reply code). It is no
longer possible to determine whether or not this message satisfies
the ADMD's list of authorized third-party Signers. The Verifier
SHOULD stop processing and defer the message for later processing,
such as requesting a temporary failure code from the Mail Transfer
Agent (MTA).
If all queries are completed and return either NXDOMAIN or NOERROR
with no answers, then the Signer was not authorized by the ADMD.
A valid ATPS reply consists of a sequence of tag=value pairs as
described in Section 3.2 of [DKIM]. The following tags and values
are currently supported in ATPS records:
d: Domain (plain-text; RECOMMENDED). This tag includes a plain-text
copy of the DNS domain being authorized as an ATPS Signer. This
is included to assist with collision detections; for example, if
the base32 encoding of this name is not the same as the base32
portion of the query, or more simply if this name is not the same
as that found in the "atps" tag, a hash collision could have
occurred. Its use where no name hashing has occurred is
redundant. The ABNF is as follows:
atps-d-tag = %x64 [FWS] "=" [FWS] domain-name
; FWS is defined in [DKIM]
Kucherawy Experimental [Page 7]
RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
v: Version (plain-text; REQUIRED). This tag indicates the version of
the ATPS specification to which the record complies. The record
MUST be ignored if the value is not "ATPS1". The ABNF is as
follows:
atps-v-tag = %x76 [FWS] "=" [FWS] %x41.54.50.53.31
; FWS is defined in [DKIM]
5. Interpretation
For each DKIM signature that verifies (see Section 6 of [DKIM]), if a
Verifier succeeds in confirming that the Author's ADMD authorized the
ATPS Signer using this protocol, then the Verifier SHOULD evaluate
the message as though it contained a valid signature from the
Author's ADMD. It MAY also independently evaluate the ATPS Signer
when determining message disposition.
This assertion is based on the fact that the ADMD explicitly endorsed
the ATPS Signer. Therefore, a module assessing reputation that is
based on DKIM signature verification SHOULD apply the reputation of
the Author's ADMD domain instead of, or in addition to, that of the
ATPS Signer domain.
6. Relationship to ADSP
[ADSP] defined a protocol by which the owner of an Author Domain can
advertise a request to message receivers that messages bearing no
valid author signature be treated with suspicion or even discarded.
A Verifier implementing both Author Domain Signing Practices (ADSP)
and ATPS MUST test ATPS first. If ATPS indicates a valid delegation,
the Verifier MUST act, with respect to ADSP, as though the message
has a valid Author Domain Signature (because that's what the
delegation means), and no ADSP test is required.
7. Experiment Process
The working group that developed DKIM considered a third-party
mechanism such as this one to be controversial, in terms of need and
practicality, and decided that an alternative mechanism was
sufficient. However, this was not based on actual experience, as
there is no specific history on this question. Thus, this experiment
was devised.
Kucherawy Experimental [Page 8]
RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
The experimental protocol described here has been implemented as an
extension to DKIM in two software products, one of which is open
source and seeing increasingly wide use. It is included there to
allow customers of those systems to make use of it if they believe
such third-party assertions are useful to the overall DKIM mechanism.
Further adoption as part of the experiment is welcome and encouraged.
Use of the protocol and anecdotes of how it affects the overall DKIM
experience will be collected by those implementers and the author of
this memo. Those participating in the experiment are also advised to
observe and report the impact of what is discussed in Section 9.4,
especially with respect to MTA latency that may be introduced.
If the response is substantial and positive, advancement along the
Standards Track might be warranted.
8. IANA Considerations
This section enumerates requested IANA actions.
8.1. ATPS Tag Registry
IANA has created an Authorized Third-Party Signature (ATPS) Tag
Registry, under the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Parameters
group, to enumerate the tags that are valid for use in ATPS records.
New registrations or updates MUST be made in accordance with the
"Specification Required" guidelines described in [IANA]. Such
registry changes MUST contain the following information:
1. Name of the tag being registered or updated
2. The document where the specification is created or updated
3. The status of the tag, one of "active" (tag is in current use),
"deprecated" (tag is in current use but its use is discouraged),
or "historic" (tag is no longer in use)
The registry's initial entries are below:
+-----+------------+--------+
| Tag | Reference | Status |
+-----+------------+--------+
| d | [RFC6541] | active |
+-----+------------+--------+
| v | [RFC6541] | active |
+-----+------------+--------+

Names registry (in the Email Authentication Parameters group)
established by [AUTHRES] as per [IANA]:

RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
Code: fail
Existing/New Code: existing
Defined In: [AUTHRES]
Auth Method: dkim-atps

not reference a domain name found in the RFC5322.From field, or
the ATPS test(s) performed failed to confirm a third-party
authorization.
Code: temperror
Existing/New Code: existing
Defined In: [AUTHRES]

8.4. DKIM Signature Tag Specifications Registry
The following have been added to the DKIM Signature Tag
Specifications registry (in the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM)
Parameters group) established by [DKIM] as per [IANA]:
+-------+-----------+--------+
| Type | Reference | Status |
+-------+-----------+--------+
| atps | [RFC6541] | active |
+-------+-----------+--------+
| atpsh | [RFC6541] | active |
+-------+-----------+--------+
9. Security Considerations
This section discusses potential security issues related to this
experimental protocol.
9.1. Hash Selection
The selection of the hash algorithm to be used (see Section 4.1) has
security implications, as weaker algorithms have more risk of
collision, meaning a second DNS domain name could in theory be
constructed to appear to have been authorized by the Author ADMD.
At the time of publication of [DKIM], use of SHA256 was preferred
over SHA1 for this reason, though support for both has been
maintained. See Section 3.3 of [DKIM] for additional discussion.
9.2. False Privacy
The fact that the authorized third-party domain name is hashed and
then encoded with base32 might give some the false sense that the
relationship between the two parties is somehow protected. This is
not the case. Indeed, the very purpose of this protocol is to make
it possible for such relationships to be discovered, so such an
obscuration would make that process more difficult without a shared
secret delivered out-of-band to message verifiers (which also adds
further complexity). Rather, the hash and encode steps are done
merely to convert any third-party domain name to a fixed width in the
construction of the DNS query.
Kucherawy Experimental [Page 12]
RFC 6541 DKIM ATPS Experiment February 2012
9.3. Transient Security Failures
Approving a third-party Signer exposes the ADMD to the risk that the
third-party Signer becomes compromised and then begins to sign
malicious or nuisance messages on behalf of the ADMD. This can
obviously reflect negatively on the ADMD, and the impact of this can
become more severe as automated domain reputation systems are
developed and deployed. Thorough vetting and monitoring practices by
ADMDs of third-party Signers will likely need to become the norm.
9.4. Load on the DNS
A Verifier participating in DKIM, ADSP, and ATPS will now issue a
number of TXT queries to the DNS equal to as many as one (for the
ADSP query) plus the number of signatures on the message (one for
each key that is to be verified) plus the number of signatures that
validated and that also bear an "atps" tag. This is in addition to
any PTR and A queries the MTA might issue at the time the actual
message relaying or delivery is initiated. Obviously, this can be
burdensome on the DNS at both ends, and waiting for that number of
queries to return when they are issued in parallel could trigger
timeouts in the MTA.
An alternative that has not yet been explored is the storage of the
ATPS data at a specific URL tied to the Author's domain name. This
would alleviate pressure on the DNS at the expense of requiring the
ADMD to operate a web server (which has its own security
implications) and the addition of the establishment of a TCP
connection. Moreover, the Verifier would be well advised to
implement caching of this data to prevent ATPS from being used as a
denial-of-service vector.
See Section 8.5 of [DKIM] for further discussion of DNS-related
issues.

Appendix A. Example Query and Reply
This section presents an example of the use of this protocol to query
for a third-party authorization and discusses the interpretation of
the result.
Presume a message for which the RFC5322.From domain is "example.com",
and it bears two valid signatures, from "one.example.net" and from
"two.example.net", each with an "atps" tag whose value is
"example.com", and an "atpsh" tag whose value is "sha1". The
following actions are taken:
1. A SHA1 hash of "one.example.net" is computed and then converted
to printable form using base32 encoding, resulting in the string
"QSP4I4D24CRHOPDZ3O3ZIU2KSGS3X6Z6".
2. A TXT query is issued to
"QSP4I4D24CRHOPDZ3O3ZIU2KSGS3X6Z6._atps.example.com".
3. If a valid reply arrives, the algorithm stops with [AUTHRES]
result "pass". If a DNS error code other than NXDOMAIN is
returned, the algorithm stops with a result of "temperror" or
"permerror" as appropriate.
4. A SHA1 hash of "two.example.net" is computed and then converted
to printable form using base32 encoding, resulting in the string
"ZTZGRRV3F45A4U6HLDKBF3ZCOW4V2AJX".
5. A TXT query is issued to
"ZTZGRRV3F45A4U6HLDKBF3ZCOW4V2AJX._atps.example.com".
6. If a valid reply arrives, the algorithm stops with [AUTHRES]
result "pass". If a DNS error code other than NXDOMAIN is
returned, the algorithm stops with a result of "temperror" or
"permerror" as appropriate.
7. As there are no valid signatures left to test, the algorithm
stops with an "unknown" result.
Appendix B. Choice of DNS RR Type
It was proposed that this work appear within the DNS under a new
Resource Record (RR) Type. Although this is possibly an appropriate
thing to do, consideration was also given to the fact that major
portions of DKIM already use an ASCII-based "tag=value" syntax, and
store key and ADSP data in the DNS using TXT resource records. To
enable re-use of existing DKIM code, it was decided to re-use the TXT
message scheme.
