DMARC Forensic PGP Encryption and Decryption

RUF reports are generated each time an email fails SPF, DKIM or DMARC. Because they’re created on a per-email basis, they may potentially contain some personal information from the email. These include:

 
 
  • Your ‘From’ domain
  • Time email was received
  • IP address of servers that sent the email
  • Subject line
  • DMARC, SPF, DKIM pass/fail results
  • Headers of the failing email
 

Though RUF data rarely contains the contents of your email, even the items listed above could be considered sensitive.

That’s Why We Offer Forensics Encryption

PowerDMARC lets you encrypt all your DMARC Forensic RUF reports as they’re generated. To make it even more secure, you can generate your own key-value pair to encrypt your RUF data. We have zero access to your encryption key. 

PowerDMARC helps you comply with industry regulations and standards like PCI-DSS, GDPR, ISO 27001, and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

How to decrypt encrypted RUF reports?

In case you want to decrypt your DMARC forensic reports which were previously encrypted by you, you need to log in to your DMARC analyzer portal and navigate to the DMARC Forensics section. 

When on the page, you will find your feedback headers and mail headers with an option to view them. Click on the "View" button for your mail headers. The encrypted Forensic report can now be copied and decrypted using your private PGP key and password. 

 

You can use any online decryption tool to decrypt your PGP encryption. Simply enter your private key, password, and encrypted message and the tool will help you decrypt and view your report details instantly.
