NAME

Mail::DKIM::ARC::MessageSignature − Subclass of Mail::DKIM::Signature which represents a ARC−Message−Signature header

VERSION

version 1.20240923

CONSTRUCTORS

new() − create a new signature from parameters

my $signature = Mail::DKIM::ARC::MessageSignature−>new(
[ Algorithm => 'rsa−sha256', ]
[ Signature => $base64, ]
[ Method => 'relaxed', ]
[ Domain => 'example.org', ]
[ Instance => 1, ]
[ Headers => 'from:subject:date:message−id', ]
[ Query => 'dns', ]
[ Selector => 'alpha', ]
[ Timestamp => time(), ]
[ Expiration => time() + 86400, ]
);

The only differences between this module and Mail::DKIM::Signature are the header name, and that 'instance' is an integer rather than a base64 encoded value.

instance() − get or set the signing instance (i=) field

my $i = $signature−>instance;

Instances must be integers less than 1024 according to the spec.

NOTE: the i= field is "Identity" in DKIM and is a base64 value, but in ARC it is "Instance" and an integer. The parsing routine does not check that the i= value is a number.
