The Authentication& Online Trust Alliance (AOTA http://www.aotalliance.org/), is publishing an industry wide survey of solutions, services and products which support email authentication. The goal is to demonstrate leadership and commitment to this best practice as well as to serve as a directory for business and technical decision makers. We need your input by Dec 30th to be included in the report. The objective is to reinforce the importance of adopting email authentication technologies to enhance deliverability and consumer trust; and to emphasize the need for interactive marketers and brands to protect their properties from phishing attacks.

To be included in this directory, you will need to supply the following:

  1. Company name
  2. Product or service name (as applicable)
  3. Web site (with link to any page reference to email authentication)
  4. Support of the above mentioned solutions available as of January 1, 2008 (outbound as well as inbound)
    a. DK
    b. DKIM
    c. SIDF/SPF (Mail From vs. PRA)
    d. TLS

While the above data will be made public via the AOTA site, specific contact info will not be shared. A press released is planned to announce the publication of this directory along with other recommended best practices to improve and enhance the trust ecosystem.

If you would like to be included in the directory, submit the above data staff-at-aotalliance.org. The deadline to submit material is December 30th.

Please contribute to this if you can.
