 on whether the signature verifies correctly.  There is also a DKIM class which
 can be used to perform these functions in a more modern way.
 
-Two helper programs are also supplied: dkimsign.py and dkimverify.py.
+RFC8301 updated DKIM requirements in two ways:
+
+1.  It set the minimum valid RSA key size to 1024 bits.
+2.  It removed use of rsa-sha1.
+
+As of version 0.7, the dkimpy defaults largely support these requirements.
+
+It is possible to override the minimum key size to a lower value, but this is
+strongly discouraged.  As of 2018, keys much smaller than the minimum are not
+difficult to factor.
+
+The code for rsa-sha1 signing and verification is retained, but not used for
+signing by default.  Future releases will raise warnings and then errors when
+verifying rsa-sha1 signatures.  There are still some significant users of
+rsa-sha1 signatures, so operationally it's premature to disable verification
+of rsa-sha1.
+
+Three helper programs are also supplied: dknewkey.py, dkimsign.py and
+dkimverify.py.
+
+dknewkey.py is s script that produces private and public key pairs suitable
+for use with DKIM.  Note that the private key file format used for ed25519 is
+not standardized (there is no standard) and is unique to dkimpy.
 
 dkimsign.py is a filter that reads an RFC822 message on standard input, and
 writes the same message on standard output with a DKIM-Signature line
