Re: secure sign & encrypt

2002-05-20 15:22:06

There was quite a bit of discussion about this last year on the
cryptography mailing list.  I thought Jon Callas' message was good,
pointing out the wider ramifications of this kind of "failure":
http://www.mit.edu:8008/bloom-picayune/crypto/8891.

It is really not clear that solving it is as simple as adding a new
packet.  There are still other ways that things can go wrong, such
as simply redirecting a clear-signed message.  The fundamental problem
is that people don't understand what is protected and what isn't in
a signed mail message.
