Specifications seek to reroute e-mail

By Staff -- Manufacturing Business Technology, 10/1/2005 6:00:00 AM

With its routers moving the majority of e-mail traffic, Cisco Systems is taking an active role in protecting Internet users from e-mail fraud. Cisco has joined a number of technology companies—including Yahoo—in developing an e-mail specification that would force all e-mail senders to identify themselves. Dubbed DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), the specification has been submitted to Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for consideration as an e-mail standard. But it has competition, including a proposal called Sender ID from Microsoft. Jim Fenton, a Cisco engineer who helped develop DKIM, says the specification has proved compatible with multiple e-mail systems. Cisco hopes IETF will quickly approve DKIM as an industry standard so it "can contribute to a solution for e-mail fraud more rapidly."
