DKIM

DomainKeys Identified Mail. An email authentication method using cryptographic signatures to verify sender identity.

Definition

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication method that allows senders to attach a digital signature to their messages. The receiving server verifies this signature against a public key published in the sender's DNS records. If the signature is valid, it confirms the email hasn't been modified in transit and originated from an authorized sender.

Examples

  • DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; d=example.com; s=selector1; ...
