Abstract

Controlling one's personal and private information could help alleviate one of the greatest harms facing the Internet today - the loss of attention due to the over abundance of unsolicited email (spam). If one could control the dissemination and usage of one's email address, one could eliminate spam. We introduce a privacy honoring email system that leverages the user's social network to provide access control to the user's email.
