Secured Email Server and Http Keyserver Protocol (Hkp) in Php
CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
This project entitled Secured Email Server and HTTP Keyserver Protocol (HKP) in PHP which has been specifically created will provide us with in depth input on the security in email communication using the cryptography method. In this project, the term ‘Secured Email Server’ refers to the implementation of cryptography method known as Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) in the email server. The word ‘HKP’ refers to the key server that is used to centralize the GPG key uploaded by users.
This protocol is executed using Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) Programming Language that has been installed in the webmail directory residing in the email server. Therefore, this is one other method that should be used in our internal and external network for the securing of email communication through the reduction of network vulnerability amount.
Through research, we have found that to implement this project, we have to maintain the role of computer security that may be related to our project implementation which is:
* Confidentiality: protection against data disclosure * Integrity: protection against data modification * Availability: protection against data disponibility * Identification &
Authentication (I&A): provide a way of identifying entities, and controlling this identity. * Non-repudiability: Bind an entity to its actions
We hope that this proposed role of computer security can be achieved with the encouragement and support from all quarters, especially who are directly and indirectly involved in this project.
