+6.1.  Digital Signature of Headers
 
-   It is most desirable that group control messages (7.2) in particular
-   be authenticated by incorporating them within some digital signature
-   scheme that encompasses other headers closely associated with them
-   (including at least the Approved-, Message-ID- and Date-headers). At
-   the time of writing, this is usually done by means of a protocol
-   known as "PGPverify" ([PGPVERIFY]), and continued usage of this is
-   encouraged at least as an interim measure.
-
-   However, PGPverify is not considered suitable for standardization in
-   its present form, for various technical reasons. It is therefore
-   expected that an early extension to this standard will provide a
-   robust and general purpose digital authentication mechanism with
-   applicability to all situations requiring protection against
-   malicious use of, or interference with, headers.  That extension
-   would also address other Netnews security issues.
