| Release 0.2 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| jDKIM is a DKIM implementation library written in Java. It provides both verification and signing |
| and also provides Mailets for the Apache JAMES project. |
| |
| The 0.2 release is the first release. It requires Java 1.5 at runtime and it requires the JVM |
| running the library to support SHA256withRSA cypher suite. The default Sun Java 1.5 does support |
| this suite. If your JVM doesn't support it you can install a third party cryptography provider |
| like BouncyCastle and configure it appropriately in your JVM. |
| |
| The architecture is thought to handle multiple signatures with performance in mind: body hashing |
| for multiple signatures is computed concurrently in a single stream run. |
| |
| The whole internal verification/signing is done via OutputStream leaving much more flexibility than |
| the use of InputStream. As the InputStream approach is easier from the user side the default |
| implementation simply prepare the OutputStream and copy the supplied InputStream to the OutputStream. |
| |
| In order to reduce depencencies and to not reinvent the wheel the resulting library includes a |
| "shaded" version of the commons-codec 1.4 classes needed to do Base64 encoding/decoding. |

| Notes |
| ----- |
| |
| * jDKIM API is still considered unstable and is likely to change in future releases |
| * Default parsing is done using mime4j 0.7 parser. |
| * The mailet does rely on javamail parsing instead of mime4j. |
| * Make sure to use dnsjava 2.0.7 or greater as 2.0.6 has a bug in TXT record escaping. |
