Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the implementation of a distributed search engine called SEGPX based on email communication. SEGPX uses X.509 public-key and attribute certificate frameworks and utilizes email servers for communications. Advanced features, such as store and forward, document encryption and client side user authentication/authorization etc., are provided to adapt the use for secure group collaboration over the public networks
