  • A Methodology and Architecture for a Dependable and Secure E-mail Service ( SSI´2006 8th International Symposium on System and Information Security)

    Abstract—A novel methodology and architecture of the Internet e-mail service (SMTP standard) based on the concepts of dependability and secure computing is presented. The goal of this work is four folded: firstly, to raise awareness about all the existing faults and threats of today’s e-mail service. Secondly, to provide an exhaustive and systematic classification of faults, threats, failures that can affect E-mail services and their corresponding defense mechanisms. Thirdly, to provide a methodology that will enable IT staff to redesign and deploy a secure and dependable e-mail infrastructure in a proactive and preventive process. Finally, we propose a new dependable and secure E-mail architecture with protections against every classified fault and threat using a corresponding defense mechanism.

    Index Terms— Dependability, Electronic mail, Internet.
