MAAWG DKIM Implementation Training Video

DKIM Implementation

This four-part tutorial by leading experts on DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) looks at the standard for using cryptographic signing to identify an organization that is taking responsibility for a message, and is the first video in the MAAWG Training Series.  Originally presented in February 2010 at a MAAWG general meeting, the complete course is one hour and 40 minutes and is delivered in 20 to 35-minute segments covering theory and implementation.

Both instructors have been active in the standard development process and industry adoption efforts.  Dave Crocker, MAAWG senior advisor and principal of Brandenburg InternetWorking, also oversees DKIM.org.  Murray S. Kucherawy, Cloudmark principal engineer, is the primary author of both Sendmail libdkim and OpenDKIM, the most widely used open source DKIM software.
