Ciphire Mail Email Encryption and Authentication
نویسنده
چکیده
Ciphire Mail is cryptographic software that provides email encryption and digital signatures. The Ciphire Mail client resides on the user's computer between the email client and the email server, intercepting, encrypting, decrypting, signing, and authenticating email communication. During normal operation, all operations are performed in the background, making it very easy to use even for non-technical users. Ciphire Mail provides automated secure public-key exchange using an automated fingerprinting system. It uses cryptographic hash values to identify and validate certificates, thus enabling clients to detect malicious modification of certificates. This data is automatically circulated among clients, making it impossible to execute fraud without alerting users. The Ciphire system is a novel concept for making public-key cryptography and key exchange usable for email communication. It is the first transparent email encryption system that allows everyone to secure their communications without a steep learning curve.

متن کاملBMAC IS INSECURE Page 1 AUTHENTICATING MULTI-CAST INTERNET ELECTRONIC MAIL MESSAGES USING A BIDIRECTIONAL MAC IS INSECURE
The 1988 version of the message encryption and authentication procedures for Internet electronic mail makes use of a 'Bidirectional MAC' or BMAC. When used for multi-cast electronic mail it is important that this BMAC acts as a one-way function. We show here that it is not a one-way function, which means that the BMAC technique should not be used for authenticating multi-cast messages.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a common protocol for transferring email messages worldwide. SMTP is anonymous and provides only the basic functions required to transfer a message, namely specifying a sender, recipients, and message text. SMTP was designed without consideration for security. We propose a new protocol, Secure Mail Transfer Protocol (SecMTP), to provide user-to-user secur...
