ABSTRACT
This paper presents a new protocol for certified email. The protocol aims to combine security, scalability, easy implementation, and viable deployment. The protocol relies on a light on-line trusted third party; it can be implemented without any special software for the receiver beyond a standard email reader and web browser, and does not require any public-key infrastructure.

Multi-Party Fair Exchange with an Off-Line Trusted Neutral Party
DEXA '99: Proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Database & Expert Systems ApplicationsRecently developed cryptographic techniques [2, 4, 6, 14] make it possible to construct fair exchange protocols with an off-line trusted third party(TTP). The technique is referred to as a verifiable encryption scheme(VES) proves that a ciphertext is ...
