Abstract

It is commonly agreed that the widespread and more professional use of electronic mail on the Internet would gain a lot from certified mail services. In this article, we propose and describe a system that can be used to provide these services. The corresponding certified mail system for the Internet employs an online trusted third party and uses dual signatures to cryptographically link the message keys to the messages that are certified.
