DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a validation system used to prove that an e-mail has been sent by an authenticated person or email server. An electronic signature is attached to the email’s header using a private key. When the email is received, a public key that’s available in the global DNS database is used to verify who exactly sent it and if the content has been modified in any way. The main job of DomainKeys Identified Mail is to prevent the widely spread scam and spam emails, as it makes it impossible to fake an email address. If a message is sent from an email address claiming to belong to your bank, for example, but the signature does not match, you will either not receive the email message at all, or you’ll get it with a warning note that most likely it’s not an authentic one. It depends on email providers what exactly will happen with an email that fails to pass the signature examination. DomainKeys Identified Mail will also provide you with an added layer of security when you communicate with your business allies, for example, since they can see that all the messages that you exchange are genuine and have not been tampered with in the meantime.
