Infrastructure for PGP and/or S/MIME

Project ID: 
104
Current stage: 
Manager: 
Unit: 
What: 

Description: There's some ad hoc use of PGP (gpg, GnuPG), but in order to bed it down properly in the School there's probably some infrastructure that could usefully be provided.
Find out what, and do it.

Deliverables: Might include:


  • keyserver
  • kerberised (or cosigned) keysigning authority
Why: 

Customer: Anyone who might need secure email

Case statement: email isn't secure. The web-of-trust can be disjointed. Something to help bootstrap the process for users would be helpful.

When: 

Status: Some of what we want to do here might usefully be done at University-wide level. Unfortunately, they don't seem interested.
