Abstract

The electronic mail plays an unavoidable role in the humankind communications. With the great interest for the connection via mobile platforms, and the growing number of vulnerabilities and attacks, it is essential to provide suitable security solutions regarding the limitations of resource restricted platforms. Although some solutions such as PGP and S/MIME are currently available for the secure e-mail over the Internet, they are based on traditional public key cryptography that involves huge computational costs. In this paper, a new secure application-layer protocol, called SMEmail, is introduced that provides several security attributes such as confidentiality, integrity, authentication, non-repudiation, and forward secrecy of message confidentiality for the electronic mails. SMEmail offers an elliptic curve-based public key solution that uses public keys for the secure key establishment of a symmetric encryption, and is so suitable for the resource restricted platforms such as mobile phones.
SMEmail——移动环境下安全电子邮件的一种新协议
电子邮件在人类的交流中起着不可避免的作用。随着人们对移动平台连接的极大兴趣,以及越来越多的漏洞和攻击,针对资源受限平台的局限性,提供合适的安全解决方案至关重要。尽管目前有一些解决方案(如PGP和S/MIME)可用于Internet上的安全电子邮件,但它们都是基于传统的公钥加密,这涉及到巨大的计算成本。本文介绍了一种新的应用层安全协议SMEmail,该协议为电子邮件提供了保密性、完整性、身份验证、不可否认性和消息的前向保密等安全属性。SMEmail提供了一种基于椭圆曲线的公钥解决方案,使用公钥建立对称加密的安全密钥,非常适合手机等资源受限的平台。
