What is DKIM and DMARC and Why Are They Important for Your Email Communications?

Introduction to DKIM: Digital Signatures for Your Email

(DKIM) is an email authentication method that verifies that an email was sent from a given domain and has not been altered. The sender adds a digital signature to the email header, which allows the recipient to verify its authenticity. This signature is created using a private key securely stored on the sender's server. The public key used to verify the signature is published in the DNS records of the sender's domain. This makes it easy for the recipient to verify that the email originated from that domain and has not been tampered with.

DMARC: The Next Level of Protection

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) is a technology that builds on DKIM and SPF. DMARC allows domains to define policies on how email services should handle emails that do not appear to be authentic. Rules can be set to determine what happens to emails that do not meet DKIM or SPF authentication. By implementing DKIM and DMARC, you can also request that emails be redirected to a spam folder or rejected
