While, the concept isn&#8217;t necessarily new, the implementation would be. Basically, they want to require all mail servers to have their own PGP key pair for a domain. In order to send mail, the sending server would include a small header containing a signature created by encrypting the message hash with it&#8217;s private key, and the receiving server would check to make sure that the signature decrypts with the public key to the hash that matches the message content.<\/p>\n<p>This seems like a great idea to me.  90% of the SPAM that I get is from yahoo.com or aol.com addresses, but don&#8217;t originate from their servers.  This would force people to send mail from their real network domain.  Of course, this would cause a whole new set of problems.  People would have to make sure their private keys are kept private (I can see it now&#8230;&#8221;Buy our CD of 100 million private keys for $99.95!&#8221;).  There would also have to be an easy way of issuing a new key to a domain if for some reason they believe their private key has been compromised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it seems that it will take a long time before something like this is implemented, Yahoo announced today that it is coming up with a new way to verify the origin of all email.
