DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is an email validation system used to certify that an email has been sent by an authorized individual or email server. An e-signature is attached to the email’s header by using a private encryption key. When the email is received, a public key that is available in the global Domain Name System is used to confirm who actually sent it and if its content has been edited in any way. The essential job of DKIM is to hamper the widely spread spam and scam email messages, as it makes it impossible to forge an email address. If an email is sent from an email address claiming to belong to your bank, for instance, but the signature doesn’t match, you will either not receive the email at all, or you’ll receive it with a warning that most probably it’s not genuine. It depends on email service providers what exactly will happen with an email that fails the signature examination. DomainKeys Identified Mail will also offer you an added layer of security when you communicate with your business partners, for instance, since they can see that all the email messages that you exchange are legitimate and haven’t been meddled with on their way.
