What is a good DKIM key rotation strategy?
A strong rotation strategy includes:
- publishing a new selector while keeping the old one active
- graduating all systems to the new key
- monitoring message signatures for a full propagation cycle
- removing the old selector only after all systems stop using it
Rotation reduces long term risk and prevents attackers from taking advantage of compromised or aging keys.
