Doc 94: DKIM key records the card still passes when receivers cannot use them - #149
Conversation
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…use them dkim_formatter.parse_dkim_tags is now the one parser for a key record: split on ';' then the first '=', tag order and repeats kept, tag names case sensitive (RFC 6376 section 3.2). _tag_value, _extract_p_tag, _is_ed25519, the key table's tag breakdown and the new dkim_record_problems all read it, so the t=y, h= and k=ed25519 reads share it too. Both discovery paths hand the record to transform_dkim, and a test runs each condition through both. Governing text, quoted from rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6376.txt: 1. v= other than DKIM1, section 3.6.1: "If specified, this tag MUST be set to "DKIM1" (without the quotes). [...] Records beginning with a "v=" tag with any other value MUST be discarded. Note that Verifiers must do a string comparison on this value". Fail, critical row. The comparison is exact, so v=dkim1 fails too. 2. v= not first, section 3.6.1: "This tag MUST be the first tag in the record." Warn, medium row. 3. Unknown k=, section 3.6.1: "Unrecognized key types MUST be ignored." Section 6.1.2 step 8: "If the public-key data is not suitable for use with the algorithm and key types defined by the "a=" and "k=" tags in the DKIM-Signature header field, the Verifier MUST immediately return PERMFAIL (inappropriate key algorithm)." Fail, critical row. rsa and ed25519 (RFC 8463) are known, compared case insensitively. 4. s= without email or *, section 3.6.1: "Verifiers for a given service type MUST ignore this record if the appropriate type is not listed." Fail, critical row. 5. Repeated tag, section 3.2: "Tags with duplicate names MUST NOT occur within a single tag-list; if a tag name does occur more than once, the entire tag-list is invalid." Fail, critical row. The key table (web and PDF) rates a key with any card-failing record problem red, "Replace", with its own rotation guidance, instead of "Meets current security recommendations" beside a red card. That includes h= without sha256 from 0c48283. The size line for such a key drops from good to info. Tests: tests/test_dkim_key_record_tags.py. 2220 -> 2246.

dkim_record_problems()lowercases thek=value before comparing it withKNOWN_KEY_TYPES. Therefore,k=RSAandk=Ed25519do not setunknown_key_type. RFC 6376 requires case-sensitive values and says unrecognized key types must be ignored. RFC 8463 defines the supported value ased25519. (rfc-editor.org)The transformer can then leave the record usable and report a passing or healthy key when receivers will ignore it.

Report unusable record settings even when key data is invalid.
If a record has v=DKIM2 and an undecodable non-empty p=, _unusable is set, but has_unusable remains False because Line 6989 requires strength != "invalid". The new result field therefore hides a detected record problem. Set has_unusable independently of the condition that overrides the key rating.
