>>Certified Email with Low Cost, Low Liability and Low Congestion or
>>Simultaneous Electronic Transactions with "Hands-off" Trusted Parties
>> by Silvio Micali MIT
>>
>>We present a VERY PRACTICAL protocol for Certified E-Mail. Our protocol:
>>1) Guarantees that the Recipient gets the Mail if and only if the Sender
>> gets the corresponding Receipt;
>>2) Provides Receipts that prove the exact content of the Mail; and
>>3) Makes limited use of a very weak form of a Trusted Party:
>> one that does not participate in a regular transaction, but,
>> if something is wrong, can still take a simple action to yield
>> a fair exchange of Mail and Receipt.
>>
>>In our talk we shall make elementary use of cryptography, and emphasize
>>instead the advantage and power of such "low-profile" trusted parties in
>>Internet Transactions. Such trust model guarantees low costs, low liability
>>and
>>low congestions, and preserves the distributed and ``democratic'' use of the
>>Internet in a variety of purely commercial applications.
