What is DKIM?

DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) is a signature/crypto-based authentication technology that enables your organisation to provide and prove the authenticity of a message.

Initially derived from Yahoo!’s DomainKeys and Cisco’s Internet Identified Mail email authentication specifications, DKIM was developed following a long collaborative effort with industry players like, Yahoo!, Google, Paypal, AOL, eBay and many others. In 2007, DKIM was recognized as the Internet Official Protocol Standard (RFC 4871) by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
