You should not create an object of this class directly. Instead, use one
of the \s-1DKIM\s0 algorithm implementation classes, such as rsa_sha1:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  my $algorithm = new Mail::DKIM::Algorithm::rsa_sha1(
\&                      Signature => $dkim_signature
\&                  );

.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "\fIadd_body()\fP \- feeds part of the body into the algorithm/canonicalization"
.IX Subsection "add_body() - feeds part of the body into the algorithm/canonicalization"
.Vb 2
\&  $algorithm\->add_body("This is the body.\e015\e012");
\&  $algorithm\->add_body("Another line of the body.\e015\e012");
.Ve
.PP
The body should be fed one \*(L"line\*(R" at a time.
.SS "\fIadd_header()\fP \- feeds a header field into the algorithm/canonicalization"
.IX Subsection "add_header() - feeds a header field into the algorithm/canonicalization"
.Vb 1
\&  $algorithm\->add_header("Subject: this is the subject\e015\e012");
.Ve
.PP
The header must start with the header field name and continue through any
folded lines (including the embedded <\s-1CRLF\s0> sequences). It terminates with
the <\s-1CRLF\s0> at the end of the header field.
.SS "\fIfinish_body()\fP \- signals the end of the message body"
.IX Subsection "finish_body() - signals the end of the message body"
.Vb 1
\&  $algorithm\->finish_body
.Ve
.PP
Call this method when all lines from the body have been submitted.
After calling this method, use \fIsign()\fR or \fIverify()\fR to get the results
from the algorithm.
.SS "\fIfinish_header()\fP \- signals the end of the header field block"
.IX Subsection "finish_header() - signals the end of the header field block"
.Vb 1
\&  $algorithm\->finish_header;
.Ve
.PP
Call this method when all the headers have been submitted.
.SS "\fIsign()\fP \- generates a signature using a private key"
.IX Subsection "sign() - generates a signature using a private key"
.Vb 1
\&  $base64 = $algorithm\->sign($private_key);
.Ve
.SS "\fIsignature()\fP \- get/set the signature worked on by this algorithm"
.IX Subsection "signature() - get/set the signature worked on by this algorithm"
.Vb 2
\&  my $old_signature = $algorithm\->signature;
\&  $algorithm\->signature($new_signature);
.Ve
.SS "\fIverify()\fP \- verifies a signature"
.IX Subsection "verify() - verifies a signature"
.Vb 1
\&  $result = $algorithm\->verify();
.Ve
.PP
Must be called after \fIfinish_body()\fR.
.PP
The result is a true/false value: true indicates the signature data
is valid, false indicates it is invalid.
.PP
For an invalid signature, details may be obtained from
\&\f(CW$algorithm\fR\->{verification_details} or $@.
