  • Abstract
    Three approaches to securing electronic mail are described and compared: the 1988 CCITT X.411 Recommendation, RFC 1113, and the Message Security Protocol (MSP). Each approach offers the same basic security services. The MSP approach is found to be the least invasive. Thus, the MSP approach is unable to provide additional security features such as protected reports from MTAs (mail transfer agents) and selective body part protection
