It's not about authentication and it's not about blocking spam. It's a solution that allows a mailbox provider to highlight some messages as being trusted, i.e. to assert to the end user (via an icon in the UI) that not only does a message come from whomever it's claimed in the message, but also that there's somebody (Goodmail) that accredited the sender and that monitors them on an on-going basis. You might want to read our AUP (downloadable from our website). This system is of much more interest to commercial mailbox providers and email hygiene[*] people than to people here. The signature is only a tool we use, nothing ground-breaking or "interesting" crypto-wise here. We do rely on advice from the best people in email and in crypto though: http://www.goodmailsystems.com/about/company/board_of_advisors.php. Daniel [*] I would have written anti-spam / anti-phishing here, however our approach is not the traditional "block the bad stuff", but rather "highlight the good mail". _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
