论文摘要
在当今的数字时代，电子邮件已成为个人和企业使用情况的关键部分。但是，电子邮件传输协议并未考虑到安全性，这一直是一个挑战，试图使电子邮件传输更加安全。除了用于发送和检索电子邮件的SMTP，POP3和IMAP协议的基本层之外，当前日期还使用了其他一些主要的安全协议，以确保诸如TLS/SSL，StartTLS和PGP/GPG加密等电子邮件传输。电子邮件传输体系结构中使用的最通用的设计是通过TLS/SSL安全频道发送PGP/GPG加密的SMTP。无论如何，这些安全协议和加密方法中的漏洞，关于架构设计仍然可以完成工作。在本文中，我们讨论当前电子邮件传输安全协议和架构之间的挑战。我们探索了一些新技术，并使用EEKS结构和Schnorr签名提出了新的电子邮件传输架构，以消除PGP/GPG的使用，同时实现完美的前锋保密性。
During today's digital age, emails have become a crucial part of communications for both personal and enterprise usage. However, email transmission protocols were not designed with security in mind, and this has always been a challenge while trying to make email transmission more secure. On top of the basic layer of SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols to send and retrieve emails, there are several other major security protocols used in current days to secure email transmission such as TLS/SSL, STARTTLS, and PGP/GPG encryption. The most general design used in email transmission architecture is SMTP with PGP/GPG encryption sending through an TLS/SSL secure channel. Regardless, vulnerabilities within these security protocols and encryption methods, there is still work can be done regarding the architecture design. In this paper, we discuss the challenges among current email transmission security protocols and architectures. We explore some new techniques and propose a new email transmission architecture using EEKS structure and Schnorr Signature to eliminate the usage of PGP/GPG for encryption while achieving Perfect Forward Secrecy.
