The standard was made better in the following years by coupling the groundwork Yahoo laid with some improvements from Cisco and its proposed Identified Internet Mail standard. (csoonline.com)
All of this merged to become an Internet Engineering Task Force standard called DomainKeys Identified Mail, or DKIM. (csoonline.com)
DKIM adds a few things onto the base DomainKeys, like multiple algorithms for generating signatures on mail, delegation ability in case you have outsourced your email, signing the DKIM-Signature header field itself to defend it against being modified somewhere else, and supporting timeouts so the whole thing does not fall over if there is a hiccup in internet access or availability.

If you've had mail bounce with the reject message below, you should make sure that you follow the best practices listed below. (zone.eu)
Make sure your domain has a SPF record and make sure it lists both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses from which you are sending mail from. (zone.eu)
Try to make sure that your mail is cryptographically signed. (zone.eu)
DMARC is the glue between SPF and DKIM, making it possible to fine-tune how mail that violates a policy is dealt with. (zone.eu)
Authentication8
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) builds on top of SPF and DKIM and instructs receivers to approve, quarantine, or reject email messages. (postmarkapp.com)
DKIM record verification is made possible through cryptographic authentication. (proofpoint.com)
There is an Internet authentication system - DomainKeys, and its successor, DKIM - that tries to mitigate some of the risk of trusting that emails are actually from who they say they are from. (csoonline.com)
The domain owner can publish a DMARC record in the Domain Name System (DNS) and create a policy to tell receivers what to do with emails that fail authentication. (proofpoint.com)
Check the authentication results for your domain's emails to identify any issues with failed authentication. (tangent.com)
We hope the benefits of BIMI and the necessary implementation components create further incentives for mailbox providers who participate in BIMI (and those who define and implement the standards) to address these long-standing gaps in authentication protocols," the BIMI blog said. (theregister.com)
SPF is the standard authentication created in the early days of email development. (usebouncer.com)
Then, it will use this key to perform a cryptographic authentication to make sure your newsletter was not modified during the sending process. (mailpoet.com)
DMARC6
DKIM is compatible with existing email infrastructure and works with SPF and DMARC to create multiple layers of security for domains sending emails. (postmarkapp.com)
You'll also need to have a DMARC policy in place, ensure SPF and DKIM alignment, and you'll need to make it easy for recipients to unsubscribe (one-click unsubscribe). (proofpoint.com)
DMARC provides valuable reporting data that allows you to monitor email traffic and identify any unauthorized use of your domain. (tangent.com)

Protocols1
Domain names serve to identify Internet resources, such as computers, networks, and services, with a text-based label that is easier to memorize than the numerical addresses used in the Internet protocols. (wikipedia.org)
Domain's4
To create the signature, the sender uses the domain's private key to encrypt the message and create a hash. (proofpoint.com)
If your domain provider is Google Domains , Google automatically creates a DKIM key, and adds the key to your domain's DNS records when you set up Google Workspace. (google.com)
This way, when changes are made to the target domain's IP address, all the associated domain names automatically resolve to the new address, simplifying updates across multiple websites. (dnsmadeeasy.com)
The process involves creating and publishing an SPF record in the domain's DNS settings. (informationsecurityasia.com)
SMTP2
Given SenderID was invented by Microsoft, you can be assured Outlook Server SMTP gateways employ SenderID, and are unlikely to support DomainKeys any time soon. (bitweaver.org)
To use DomainKeys, typically a filter or 'plugin' is needed for your SMTP gateway. (bitweaver.org)
Typically2
Below these top-level domains in the DNS hierarchy are the second-level and third-level domain names that are typically open for reservation by end-users who wish to connect local area networks to the Internet, create other publicly accessible Internet resources or run web sites. (wikipedia.org)
Message transit from author to recipient is through relays that typically make no substantive change to the message content and thus preserve the DKIM signature. (ietf.org)
Email32
The need for email validated identification arises because forged addresses and content are otherwise easily created-and widely used in spam, phishing and other email-based fraud. (wikipedia.org)
The DKIM record is often made available by the provider that's sending your email (like Postmark . (postmarkapp.com)
Create spectacular newsletters with CleverReach and send them out to your Shopify customers with just a few clicks - even as an email marketing beginner! (shopify.com)
Domain names are often used to identify services provided through the Internet, such as websites , email services and more. (wikipedia.org)
Second, the sender's email platform creates a hash of the text fields included in the DKIM signature. (proofpoint.com)
Of course, it makes no guarantee of who actually *wrote* that email, only that it was sent by someone with access to the account. (tuhs.org)
A user with malicious intent usually didn't have the opportunity to mess around with the email system, or if they found a way, they could be swiftly identified and dealt with. (trustedsec.com)

Do you want to build a good long-term reputation with ISPs? (postmarkapp.com)
An additional benefit of DKIM is that ISPs use it to build a domain reputation over time. (postmarkapp.com)
If the signature is verified, the message passes DKIM and is considered authentic-which helps confirm your legitimacy as a sender and contributes to building your long-term domain reputation. (postmarkapp.com)
ISPs also take factors like your IP reputation into account when making this decision. (emailarms.com)
Sender2
First, the sender identifies what fields they want to include in their DKIM record signature. (proofpoint.com)
The sender could use the domain, body of the message, and other parts of the message to create a signature. (proofpoint.com)
Verify1
The public key is used to create a hash and verify it against the same hash created with the private key, so it's a necessary component in DKIM validation. (proofpoint.com)

Internet5
In the Internet , a domain name is a string that identifies a realm of administrative autonomy, authority or control. (wikipedia.org)
In general, a domain name identifies a network domain or an Internet Protocol (IP) resource, such as a personal computer used to access the Internet, or a server computer. (wikipedia.org)
Hostnames appear as a component in Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for Internet resources such as websites (e.g., en.wikipedia.org). (wikipedia.org)
This assumption made sense in 1981: The Internet as we know it didn't exist yet. (trustedsec.com)
These records allow DNS servers to identify and locate your website and its various services on the internet. (cpanel.net)
