DKIM was created in 2005 to help recipients determine if someone has tampered with the email content in transit.

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.
