But comparing these systems has been like comparing apples with speedboats and wingbats. A speedboat is a bad apple, and so on. To help develop a common yardstick, I would like feedback (also by private email) on a list of desirable secure email features as well as a list of attacks or problems, with a corresponding score card for the secure email technologies X.509 / PKI, PGP and IBE. The paper is at http://email-security.net/papers/pki-pgp-ibe.htm Cheers, Ed Gerck ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
