Based on the descriptions given by James and George, it seems
I could implement an S/MIME solution with dig, reformail, and
openssl using a simple script.
that would depend on what you dug for, how you reformed the mail
and... oh, yeah. ssl is hop-by-hop rather than end-to-end. i do
not understand how you think ssl would be relevant to this.
in any event, please point to the technical specifications for
the data and formats that these guys would use, for supporting a
MASS service.
please also attend to the points that John Callas made.
And my own list:
a) protect headers
b) use domain-scope identification
c) DNS-based key validation (or acquisition)
d) header-based attribute encoding
seems a bit underserved by your posting. you have noted that
s/mime has a specification for handling item a). as for the
other 3 items, i believe you have acknowledged that further
specification is needed.
