How about SEEM = Security Enhanced Electronic Messaging ??

I believe it is reasonable to view the current round of effort as having
some significant differences from most of the previous efforts, in terms of
encompassing a more, ummmm, diverse set of solutions.

As such, I think that the right thing to do is to develop a different
acronym, since the initials "PEM" have a very, very strong association.
I'm not in love with 'seem' or, at least, I don't seem to be, so I suppose
Ali's suggestion is a seemless solution, leaving one feeling hemmed in, I
suppose. But I do suggestion that the acronym not be PEM, PGP or RIPEM.

By way of trying to help: MEP:  Messaging Enhanced with Protection.
