Understanding the process and importance of hashing in DKIM
by Duocircle
DKIM was created in 2005 to help recipients determine if someone has tampered with the email content in transit. The protocol is broadly based on the concept of cryptography, which ensures the authenticity and integrity of an email message by using a public key to sign the outgoing emails for your domain. In DKIM, hashing is an important step in creating a secure signature for email integrity and authentication. Let’s see how hashing works.
Lately, DMARC adoption has been reflecting an upward trend, underscoring the increasing awareness about email security, especially after Google and Yahoo’s announcements. Roughly 20 million domains are already using DMARC, although many users are still stuck at the p=none policy, which is like moving two steps forward and one step back.
