Absenderkennungen

Absenderkennungen, also known as sender identifications, are a feature commonly found in email systems that help users verify the authenticity of the sender of an email. This feature is particularly important in the context of phishing and spam emails, where malicious actors often forge sender addresses to deceive recipients. Absenderkennungen work by displaying the actual email address of the sender, rather than a name or alias, which can be easily spoofed. This allows recipients to cross-reference the displayed address with known legitimate sources to determine if the email is genuine. Additionally, some email systems use digital signatures and encryption to further verify the sender's identity, adding an extra layer of security. While Absenderkennungen are not foolproof, they are an essential tool in the fight against email fraud and help users make more informed decisions about whether to trust an email or not.
