“There’s a cryptographic technique that can tell us if an email message that you or your source has received matches what was sent. It comes in two similar flavors. One’s called “DomainKeys Identified Mail,” or DKIM, and the other is “Authenticated Received Chain,” or ARC. You can use them to authenticate emails that come in over the transom. It takes a tiny bit of command-line work and maybe a little coaxing of your source, but it can offer you a mathematical guarantee that the email you have on your screen is identical to the one that the source received, with no possibility of intermediate tampering.” —
