The integrity and authenticity of digital communications, specifically through DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), provide a robust mechanism against spoofing by attaching a digital signature verified against a public DNS record. However, challenges arise when specified headers, such as 'junk', are missing. The protocol's flexibility in handling these scenarios ensures that missing headers do not automatically lead to verification failures, maintaining the balance between security and practicality.
