ABSTRACT::
(Revision 3).
	The security of electronic mail sent through the Internet may
be described in exactly three words: there is none.  The Privacy and
Security Research Group has recommended implementing mechanisms
designed to provide security enhancements.  The first set of
mechanisms provides a protocol to provide privacy, integrity, and
authentication for electronic mail; the second provides a
certificate-based key management infrastructure to support key
distribution throughout the internet, to support the first set of
mechanisms. This paper describes these mechanisms, as well as the
reasons behind their selection and how these mechanisms can be used to
provide some measure of securtiy in the exchange of electronic mail.
