Using trusted computing in trusted mail transfer protocol

In this era, hacking techniques have become more dangerous and more widely used across the Internet. If we want to send and receive a trusted email, our current techniques would not be efficient. In this paper, we propose a new protocol for trusting our emails based on Trusted Computing. We combine the hardware-based cryptography of the Trusted Platform Module and the Remote Attestation with the email protocols. The details of the proposed protocol and its security analysis are discussed in this paper. Copyright ©2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
