A New Secure E-mail Scheme Based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography Combined Public Key

A new secure e-mail system based on elliptic curve cryptography combined public key algorithm is proposed to provide security e-mail services more efficiently and easily. Compared with other secure e-mail protocol such as PGP and S/MIME, it needn't set up the third on-line certificate agent, with less key storage space and low calculation demand, especially suitable for the application in private network and intranet environment.
