## Selective Receipt in Certified E-Mail

Steve Kremer and Olivier Markowitch. Selective Receipt in Certified E-Mail. In Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Cryptology in India (INDOCRYPT'01), pp. 136–148, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2247, Springer, Chennai, India, December 2001.

### Abstract

Traditional pen and paper transactions are becoming more and more replaced by equivalent electronic services. Therefore electronic e-mail should also provide enhanced services as those provided by traditional mail. In this paper we present new optimistic protocols for certified e-mail. The major contribution of our paper is the definition of a new property, specific to certified e-mail: no author-based selective receipt. This property requires that once the identity of the author of the mail is known, the receipt can not be refused any more. We present two certified e-mail protocols respecting this property.
