Abstract

Nowadays email has become the most widely used meansin daily communication on the net and is increasingly usedin place of ordinary mail. Certified email protocols aim toprovide additional properties to the standard email service.In this paper we provide a novel optimistic protocol for certifiedemail satisfying nine of the most important propertiesusually considered in the literature. We give a formal descriptionof the protocol with the Input/Output Automaton(IOA) framework and provide a prototype implementationfor the Windows platform.
