From: Jim choate <ravage@bga.com> Date: Fri, 10 Jun 1994 14:07:49 -0500 (CDT) I have recently come into the possession of 3 working Ridge 3200 super-mini's running Unix. I intend to place all 3 on a ethernet hooked into my inet feed and have one as a re-mailer. On the remialer front what I intend is sorta the following: 1. all messages sent out will be sent encrypted. This will require both sender and reciever to have a public key on record w/ the mailer. How about the sender encrypting with the REMAILER'S public key, and the remailer sending out encrypted with its own private key? That way no registry is necessary. If a sender doesn't trust the remailer, let the sender sub-encrypt the message inside the remail headers. 2. messages will be cached and re-transmitted after a random delay. I intend to generate a random number between 0 and 24. When the appropriate hour arrives all messages with that time stamp will be sent encrypted. I hope some header field can be defined to specify a maximum delay, and perhaps use the random number as a proportion of that maximum. 3. We intend to support anonymous as well as explicit addressing. Could you amplify on this? Anyone got any experience w/ Ridge products? I have contacted the designer and he is willing to help us out (Ridge is out of business) with support on the 3 machines. Pretty snappy, but make sure they're well cooled.
