Probably its being done somewhere already, if so I would like to see
pointers to it... perhaps its time to start looking at a replacement for
smtp. SMTP-NG or some snazzier acronym for secure messaging.
Something that is designed for the environment that now exists.
What features would we want to see, what features would be reasonable?
- secure transmission
- verifiable transmission path, every system that touches it is
verifiable and authenticated
- each system encapsulates the entire message, think nested pgp signed
messages
- make the forging of headers very difficult
- etc etc etc
What would a secure, difficult to forge, auditable messaging system look
like?
