Paper Reading Questions

For each paper, your assignment is two-fold. By 10PM the evening before lecture:

Submit your answer for each lecture's paper question via the submission web site in a file named lecn.txt, and
Submit your own question about the paper (e.g., what you find most confusing about the paper or the paper's general context/problem) in a file named sqn.txt. You cannot use the question below. To the extent possible, during lecture we will try to answer questions submitted the evening before.

Once you submit your own question and answer (or after the deadline has passed), you can view the questions and answers that other students submitted.

Lecture 19

As you are reading the paper on secure messaging schemes, try to figure out: how does email stack up against the proposed criteria for messaging? How hard would it be to adopt the techniques used in the various messaging systems to improve email security? What makes email different, if anything?
