Description: Implementation of RFC-4871 (DomainKeys Identified Mail)
 .
 The DKIM project is a portable library that signs and verifies emails using
 the OpenSSL library.
 .
 DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a domain-level authentication
 framework for email using public-key cryptography and key server technology
 to permit verification of the source and contents of messages by either Mail
 Transport Agents (MTAs) or Mail User Agents (MUAs). 
 .
 Ok..., what does that mean? 
 .
 Let's break it down into chunks: 
  - ... domain-level authentication framework for email  
    DKIM uses DNS to store the public key and policy information.
    This information can be used to validate an identity associated with an
    email message. 
  - using public-key cryptography and key server technology
    The DKIM signing algorithm computes a SHA-1 hash of the message header
    and body and encrypts it using the RSA algorithm and the private key.
    This signature is stored in the DKIM-Signature: header of the email. 
  - permit verification of ... 
    DKIM uses the public key from DNS to decrypt the signature and compares
    the hash to one computed from the email message.
 .
 This package contains only a small executable for generating / verifying
 DKIM headers.
