Dkim
Current Version: 10.1.2
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
dkim := chilkat.NewDkim() ... dkim.DisposeDkim()
Properties
AbortCurrent
func (dkim *Dkim) SetAbortCurrent(b bool)
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.)
topDebugLogFilePath
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDebugLogFilePath(s string)
If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.
Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.
Possible causes of hangs include:
- A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
- A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
- An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.
DkimAlg
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDkimAlg(s string)
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".
topDkimBodyLengthCount
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDkimBodyLengthCount(v int)
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.
topDkimCanon
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDkimCanon(s string)
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".
topDkimDomain
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDkimDomain(s string)
The domain name of the signing domain when creating the DKIM-Signature.
topDkimHeaders
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDkimHeaders(s string)
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".
topDkimSelector
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDkimSelector(s string)
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".
topDomainKeyAlg
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDomainKeyAlg(s string)
The signing algorithm to be used in creating the DomainKey-Signature. The only possible value is "rsa-sha1". The default value is "rsa-sha1".
topDomainKeyCanon
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDomainKeyCanon(s string)
Canonicalization algorithm to be used for when creating the DomainKey-Signature. Possible values are "simple" and "nofws". The default value is "nofws".
topDomainKeyDomain
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDomainKeyDomain(s string)
The domain name of the signing domain when creating the DomainKey-Signature.
topDomainKeyHeaders
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDomainKeyHeaders(s string)
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".
topDomainKeySelector
func (dkim *Dkim) SetDomainKeySelector(s string)
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".
topLastErrorHtml
Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
topLastErrorText
Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
LastErrorXml
Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.
topLastMethodSuccess
func (dkim *Dkim) SetLastMethodSuccess(b bool)
Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: true means success, false means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.
topVerboseLogging
func (dkim *Dkim) SetVerboseLogging(b bool)
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.
topVerifyInfo
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
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.
DkimVerify
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.
DomainKeySign
Constructs and prepends a DomainKey-Signature header to the MIME passed in mimeData. Prior to calling this method, your program must set both the DomainKeyDomain and DomainKeySelector properties, and it must load a private key by calling SetDomainKeyPrivateKey.
Returns true for success, false for failure.
topDomainKeyVerify
Verifies the Nth DomainKey-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
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.
topLoadPublicKeyFile
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.
topLoadTaskCaller
NumDkimSigs
Returns the number of DKIM-Signature header fields found in mimeData.
NumDomainKeySigs
Returns the number of DomainKey-Signature header fields found in mimeData.
PrefetchPublicKey
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.
topPrefetchPublicKeyAsync (1)
Creates an asynchronous task to call the PrefetchPublicKey method with the arguments provided.
Returns nil on failure
topSetDkimPrivateKey
Sets the private key file to be used for creating a DKIM-Signature.
Returns true for success, false for failure.
topSetDomainKeyPrivateKey
Sets the private key file to be used for creating a DomainKey-Signature.
Returns true for success, false for failure.
