“…This has two effects. First, some user agents do not allow users (or other processes) to add special header fields holding the extra information needed to send privacy-enhanced mail; 5 The encapsulation mechanism chosen is similar to one widely used in electronic mail throughout the Internet [36]; that standard delimits encapsulated material between two identical delimiter lines. However, that privacy-enhanced mail allows multiple encapsulated bodies to be present either nested or sequentially introduces ambiguity, so the beginning and ending delimiters must bedifferent.…”

“…We should note in passing that descriptions of earlier versions of these protocols have appeared in the literature [5] [28] [29]; unlike these, however, the focus of this paper is not only on the protocols themselves but also on the reasons that the choices involved in designing the proposals were made. We hope to provide a broader perspective on some of the design decisions, as well as placing them more completely in context than other work.…”

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.
