Vol: 4(4) No: 1 / March 1994 Security Solutions for E-mail Transmissions in Computer Networks Victor-Valeriu Patriciu Computer Science Department, Technical Military Academy, Bucharest, Bd. G. Cosbuc, Nr. 81-83, Sect. 4, Bucharest, Romania, e-mail: aionescu@roearn.ici.ro Keywords: e-mail, security solutions, computer networks Abstract Recent network survey information has shown that over 80% of people who use computer networks, use then for electronic mail (email) or for file transmission. Unfortunately, while this information technology is fast and easy to use, it is equally fast and easy for just about anyone with a computer to read, alter, and forge those documents-all quite undetectable. This paper present some cryptographic solutions for guarantee the confidentiality and authenticity of messages transmitted by email in national and international computer network.
