Electronic mail is one of the most used and abused service in today communication. While many efforts have been made to fight e-mail abuses, no effective solution has yet been developed. Furthermore new technologies (e.g. wireless roaming) and new user needs (e.g. mobility) completely break the existing e-mail authentication techniques based on network topology. In this paper we present the E-Mail Policy Enforcer system (EMPE) which provides a method to cryptographically bind the identity of the original sender of an e-mail to the message body by combining digital signatures and transport level authentication data.

Abstract

Electronic mail is one of the most used and abused service in today communication. While many efforts have been made to fight e-mail abuses, no effective solution has yet been developed. Furthermore new technologies (e.g. wireless roaming) and new user needs (e.g. mobility) completely break the existing e-mail authentication techniques based on network topology. In this paper we present the E-Mail Policy Enforcer system (EMPE) which provides a method to cryptographically bind the identity of the original sender of an e-mail to the message body by combining digital signatures and transport level authentication data.
