Description
Summary:Most of secure email systems adopt PKI and IBE encryption schemes to meet security demands in communications via emails, however, both PKI and IBE encryption schemes have their own shortcomings and flaws and consequently bring security problems to email systems. This paper proposes a new secure email system based on a fingerprint authentication scheme which combines fingerprint authentication technology with IBE scheme. The system perfectly solves the existing problems encountered in email security protection implementations.
