-7.1. Digital Signature of Headers
+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.
