Privacy-Enhanced Electronic Mail
Abstract: The security of electronic mail sent through the
Internet may be described in exactly three words: there is none.
The Privacy and Security Research Group has recommended
implementing mechanisms designed to provide security
enhancements. The first set of mechanisms provides a protocol to
provide privacy, integrity, and authentication for electronic
mail; the second provides a certificate-based key management
infrastructure to support key distribution throughout the
Internet, to support the first set of mechanisms. This paper
describes these mechanisms, as well as the reasons behind their
selection and how these mechanisms can be used to provide some
measure of security in the exchange of electronic mail.
