Email Authentication
Email Authentication Overview
Cisco AsyncOS supports email verification and signing to prevent email forgery. To verify incoming 
mail, AsyncOS supports Sender Policy Framework (SPF), Sender ID Framework (SIDF), and 
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). To authenticate outbound mail, AsyncOS supports DomainKeys 
and DKIM signing.

DomainKeys and DKIM Authentication
With DomainKeys or DKIM email authentication, the sender signs the email using public key 
cryptography. The verified domain can then be used to detect forgeries by comparing it with the domain 
in the From: (or Sender:) header of the email.
DomainKeys and DKIM consist of two main parts: signing and verification. AsyncOS supports the 
“signing” half of the process for DomainKeys, and it supports both signing and verification for DKIM. 
You can also enable bounce and delay messages to use DomainKeys and DKIM signing.
