      <t>The introduction of the CAP MIME type does not present any new risks
      in itself. CAP messages are used to encode emergency alerts, which means
      that false CAP messages can have significant negative effects, such as
      the unnecessary evacuation of an area. Systems that process CAP messages
      will need to have mechanisms for integrity protection and origin
      authentication, in order to ensure either that end alert recipients do
      not receive false alerts or that they can distinguish valid alerts from
      false alerts.</t>
