How do I verify a DKIM signature in PHP?

问题:

I'll admit I'm not very adept at key verification. What I have is a script that downloads messages from a POP3 server, and I'm attempting to verify the DKIM signatures in PHP. I've already figured out the body hash (bh) validation check, but I can't figure out the header validation.

http://www.dkim.org/specs/rfc4871-dkimbase.html#rfc.section.6.1.3

Below is an example of my message headers. I've been able to use the Mail::DKIM package to validate the signature in Perl, so I know it's good. I just can't seem to figure out the instructions in the RFC and translate them into PHP code.

 DomainKey-Signature: q=dns; a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws;
  s=angrychimp-1.bh; d=angrychimp.net;
  h=From:X-Outgoing;

I can extract the public key from my DNS just fine, and I believe I'm canonicalizing the headers correctly, but I just can't get the signature validated. I don't think I'm preparing my key or computing the signature validation correctly.

Is this something that's possible (do I need pear extensions or something?) or is manually validating a DKIM signature in PHP just not feasible?

回答1:

The Mail::DKIM has the following dependencies on other libraries:

• Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA
• Digest::SHA
• Mail::Address (part of the MailTools package)
• MIME::Base64
• Net::DNS

All these should be available in PHP also. So manually check the validatity in PHP is controllable. Mail::DKIM is verifiying the signature "manually" with those libs. Maybe you have a peak into source of Mail::DKIM?

Additionaly "OpenDKIM Library (libopendkim)" is available. You can build a PHP-module around this library like other people have integrated OpenSSL, cURL, etc into PHP.

Maybe you can provide the code of your verify-function with some test data, so everyone can have a look at it?

回答2:

Try interoperate with external tool or another language.

You can consider to adapt external tool to do that or use C library which has better support to work with DKIM. You can also try to integrate through Perl or Python.

I create new project in googlecode. the name was phpMailDomainSigner It support DKIM-Signature and DomainKey-Signature in Object Oriented Style.
