Which type of DNS record would contain the following line, which references the DKIM public key per RFC 6376?

v=DKIM1; p=76E629F05F709EF665853333EEC3F5ADE69A2362BECE406582670456943283BE

Suggested Answer: C

A TXT record is a type of DNS record that contains arbitrary text data that can be used for various purposes such as verification, configuration, or authentication. A TXT record can contain the DKIM public key per RFC 6376, which is used to verify the digital signature of an email message generated by the DKIM private key of the sender domain.

The other options are not valid because:

A) A CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps an alias name to a canonical name or another alias name. It does not contain any DKIM public key information.

B) An AAAA record is a type of DNS record that maps a hostname to an IPv6 address. It does not contain any DKIM public key information.

D) A PTR record is a type of DNS record that maps an IP address to a hostname, which is the reverse of an A or AAAA record. It does not contain any DKIM public key information.

TXT, of course! Unless it's a DKIM record for a cat, in which case, the answer is MEOW.

Oh man, I hope it's not a CNAME. Those can get so confusing sometimes. TXT is the way to go for DKIM.

I believe the correct answer is C) TXT because DKIM public keys are typically stored in TXT records.

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) CNAME since it is used for aliasing hostnames.

Hmm, that DKIM key looks like it's in hexadecimal. Must be a TXT record to store that kind of data.
