Is it reasonably accurate (at a simple level) to say that dkim involves 
applying a digital signature to an email by the domain (as opposed to a 
digital signature applied by the user / sender of an email)?

And that the domain uses the private key of a public / private keypair?

E.g., if <user>@<domain>.com sends an email, <domain>.com applies a digital 
signature to it?

And then, in the DNS system entry for <domain>.com, among other things, the 
public key is stored?

(Extra points for anybody who can craft a somewhat similar simple explanation 
of DMARC.)
