Abstract

This draft defines and discusses the use of a new DNS resource record (RR) type to address S/MIME downgrade attacks. The SMIMELOCK RR allows a domain to convey general message security policy. Primarily, this RR allows the domain owner to advertise a policy that all legitimate messages from this domain will be signed by a verifiable certificate.
