Abstract

Traditional pen and paper transactions are becoming more and more replaced by equivalent electronic services. Therefore electronic e-mail should also provide enhanced services as those provided by traditional mail. In this paper we present new optimistic protocols for certified e-mail. The major contribution of our paper is the definition of a new property, specific to certified no author-based selective receipt. This property requires that once the identity of the author of the mail is known, the receipt can not be refused any more. We present two certified email protocols respecting this property.
