Are ppl who don't even know DKIM exists but know they have shady emails saved in the cloud or on their personal really just banking on repudiation and thats why they take no other action like deleting the email or putting more thought into emails they send? Seriously doubt it.
Exactly bc of statute of limitations, they would not have to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives because of one poorly written email.
I certainly didn’t realise that DKIM can be used as a non-repudiation signature, I’m sure most people using email don’t.
Thus there’s no consent and I would say that non-repudiation has been sprung on me.
The duration has nothing to do with it. Just because you can keep a camera hidden in someones room for an extended period of time doesn’t mean it’s ethical or consensual to record them.
Finally statues of limitations don’t protect people from a trial in social media. Social media is just as capable as the justice system of destroying a persons life. Unfortunately Twitter doesn’t have a statue of limitations.
It shouldn’t be sprung on people without consent. It would be like saying it’s fine to keep a recording from someone else’s webcam because it might prove a crime later.
There’s a reason why justice systems have statues of limitations. People should need to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives because of one poorly written email.
