ProtonMail Fights Email Spoofing With New DKIM Key Management Feature
2020-02-28 15:16

The new feature, DKIM key management, is currently in beta and users have been encouraged to share feedback to help ProtonMail developers improve it. The signature is linked to the user's domain name and it's created with a private key that has a corresponding public key added to the domain registrar's DNS. If DKIM is used, the email recipient's server looks up the public key and uses it to verify the signature in the message's header to ensure that the email is legitimate.
