Dkim C# WinRT Reference Documentation

Dkim

Current Version: 9.5.0.90

Requires Chilkat Bundle License

DomainKeys API for creating and verifying DKIM-Signature and DomainKey-Signature MIME (email) header fields. This API is included with the "Chilkat MIME" license. ("Chilkat MIME" may be referred to as "Chilkat S/MIME" on some chilkatsoft.com web pages. They are the same product.)

Object Creation

Chilkat.Dkim obj = new Chilkat.Dkim();

Properties

AbortCurrent

public bool AbortCurrent {get; set; }

Introduced in version 9.5.0.58

When set to true, causes the currently running method to abort. Methods that always finish quickly (i.e.have no length file operations or network communications) are not affected. If no method is running, then this property is automatically reset to false when the next method is called. When the abort occurs, this property is reset to false. Both synchronous and asynchronous method calls can be aborted. (A synchronous method call could be aborted by setting this property from a separate thread.)

DebugLogFilePath

public string DebugLogFilePath {get; set; }

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

DkimAlg

public string DkimAlg {get; set; }

The signing algorithm to be used in creating the DKIM-Signature. Possible values are "rsa-sha256" and "rsa-sha1". The default value is "rsa-sha256".

DkimBodyLengthCount

public int DkimBodyLengthCount {get; set; }

Optional body length count to set a maximum number of body bytes to be hashed when creating the DKIM-Signature field. The default value is 0, indicating that the entire body should be hashed.

DkimCanon

public string DkimCanon {get; set; }

Canonicalization algorithm to be used for both header and body when creating the DKIM-Signature. Possible values are "simple" and "relaxed". The default value is "relaxed".

DkimDomain

public string DkimDomain {get; set; }

The domain name of the signing domain when creating the DKIM-Signature.

DkimHeaders

public string DkimHeaders {get; set; }

A colon-separated list of header field names that identify headers presented to the signing algorithm when creating the DKIM-Signature. The default value is: "mime-version:date:message-id:subject:from:to:content-type".

DkimSelector

public string DkimSelector {get; set; }

The selector to be used to form the DNS query for the public key. This property applies to creating a DKIM-Signature. For example, if the selector is "reykjavik" and the domain is "example-code.com", then the DNS query would be for "reykjavik._domainkey.example-code.com".

DomainKeyAlg

public string DomainKeyAlg {get; set; }

The signing algorithm to be used in creating the DomainKey-Signature. The only possible value is "rsa-sha1". The default value is "rsa-sha1".

DomainKeyCanon

public string DomainKeyCanon {get; set; }

Canonicalization algorithm to be used for when creating the DomainKey-Signature. Possible values are "simple" and "nofws". The default value is "nofws".

DomainKeyDomain

public string DomainKeyDomain {get; set; }

The domain name of the signing domain when creating the DomainKey-Signature.

DomainKeyHeaders

public string DomainKeyHeaders {get; set; }

A colon-separated list of header field names that identify headers presented to the signing algorithm when creating the DomainKey-Signature. The default value is: "mime-version:date:message-id:subject:from:to:content-type".

DomainKeySelector

public string DomainKeySelector {get; set; }

The selector to be used to form the DNS query for the public key. This property applies to creating a DomainKey-Signature. For example, if the selector is "reykjavik" and the domain is "example-code.com", then the DNS query would be for "reykjavik._domainkey.example-code.com".

HeartbeatMs

public int HeartbeatMs {get; set; }

The number of milliseconds between each AbortCheck event callback. The AbortCheck callback allows an application to abort any method call prior to completion. If HeartbeatMs is 0 (the default), no AbortCheck event callbacks will fire.

LastErrorHtml

public string LastErrorHtml {get; }

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

LastErrorText

public string LastErrorText {get; }

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

More Information and Examples

Concept of LastErrorText LastErrorText Standard Information

LastErrorXml

public string LastErrorXml {get; }

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

LastMethodSuccess

public bool LastMethodSuccess {get; set; }

Introduced in version 9.5.0.52

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of true indicates success, a value of false indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

Any method that returns a string.
Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = true and failure = false.
Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to true. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

VerboseLogging

public bool VerboseLogging {get; set; }

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

VerifyInfo

public string VerifyInfo {get; }

Introduced in version 9.5.0.76

Contains JSON with information about the last DKIM or DomainKey signature verified (or verification failure). The JSON will contain information like this:

{
  "domain": "amazonses.com",
  "selector": "7v7vs6w47njt4pimodk5mmttbegzsi6n",
  "publicKey": "MIGfMA0GCSq...z6uqeQIDAQAB",
  "canonicalization": "relaxed/simple",
  "algorithm": "rsa-sha256",
  "signedHeaders": "Subject:From:To:Date:Mime-Version:Content-Type:References:Message-Id:Feedback-ID",
  "verified": "yes"
}

Methods

DkimSign

public bool DkimSign(BinData mimeData);

Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Constructs and prepends a DKIM-Signature header to the MIME passed in mimeData. Prior to calling this method, your program must set both the DkimDomain and DkimSelector properties, and it must load a private key by calling SetDkimPrivateKey.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

More Information and Examples

Send DKIM Signed Email

DkimVerify

public bool DkimVerify(int sigIndex, BinData mimeData);

Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Verifies the Nth DKIM-Signature header in the mimeData. (In most cases, there is only one signature.) The 1st signature is at sigIndex 0.

On return, the VerifyInfo property will contain additional information about the DKIM-Signature that was verified (or not verified).

Returns true for success, false for failure.

LoadPublicKey

public bool LoadPublicKey(string selector, string domain, string publicKey);

Caches a public key to be used for verifying DKIM and DomainKey signatures for a given selector and domain. The publicKey is a string containing an RSA public key in any text format, such as XML, PEM, etc. This method will automatically detect the format and load the public key correctly. This method is useful for testing DKIM and DomainKey verification when your public key has not yet been installed in DNS.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

LoadPublicKeyFile

public bool LoadPublicKeyFile(string selector, string domain, string publicKeyFilepath);

Caches a public key to be used for verifying DKIM and DomainKey signatures for a given selector and domain. The publicKeyFilepath is a filepath of an RSA public key in any format. This method will automatically detect the format and load the public key correctly. This method is useful for testing DKIM and DomainKey verification when your public key has not yet been installed in DNS.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

NumDkimSigs

public int NumDkimSigs(BinData mimeData);

Introduced in version 9.5.0.76

Returns the number of DKIM-Signature header fields found in mimeData.

More Information and Examples

Verify DKIM-Signature Headers in Downloaded Email

NumDomainKeySigs

public int NumDomainKeySigs(BinData mimeData);

Introduced in version 9.5.0.76

Returns the number of DomainKey-Signature header fields found in mimeData.

PrefetchPublicKey

(awaitable) public IAsyncOperation<bool> PrefetchPublicKeyAsyncAsync(string selector, string domain);

Useful if your application is going to verify many emails from a single domain (or a few domains). This eliminates the need to do a DNS lookup to fetch the public key each time an email's DKIM or DomainKey signature is verified.

This method may be called multiple times -- once for each selector/domain to be pre-fetched. The verify methods (VerifyDkimSignature and VerifyDomainKeySignature) will use a pre-fetched key if the selector and domain match.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

SetDkimPrivateKey

public bool SetDkimPrivateKey(PrivateKey privateKey);

Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Sets the private key file to be used for creating a DKIM-Signature.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

SetDomainKeyPrivateKey

public bool SetDomainKeyPrivateKey(PrivateKey privateKey);

Introduced in version 9.5.0.71

Sets the private key file to be used for creating a DomainKey-Signature.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

Events

Callbacks from asynchronous methods occur in a background thread. However, controls on the UI thread may only be accessed from the UI thread.Therefore, UI updates must be dispatched to the UI thread. One way to do this is as follows:

    public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
    {
        private Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcher m_dispatcher = null;

        public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            m_dispatcher = Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow.GetForCurrentThread().Dispatcher;
        }


        async private void Http_ProgressInfo(object sender, Chilkat.ProgressInfoEventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            await m_dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
            {
                // Application code to update the UI goes here...
            });
        }

    }
