Engineers have worked a number of companies provided for e-mail services such as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and Comcast and Enkidan to develop new rules to improve the transmission of e-mail over the Internet securely.
And use the basic transport technology SMTP to send e-mail decades ago, most e-mail was sent in the form of plain text, and unencrypted.
It was invented SMTP STARTTLS technique to repair those defects many years ago, but failed to be adopted on a large scale, and contain many defects, such as failing to ensure encrypt messages completely.
And it is currently an easy task and with the continuation of the traditional technology SMTP eavesdropping on e-mail across the man's attacks in the middle man-in-the-middle before the arrival of the future, and to convince the sender that he can not activate the SSL encryption, which allows sending e unencrypted.
The aim of the new mechanism to make sure that e-mail traffic encrypted and not subject to any amendment allows spoof proxy server or break SSL encryption status, as the new mechanism allows email providers determine the policies and rules of the establishment of e-mail messages are encrypted.
The idea of the new mechanism When you send a letter to the range supports SMTP STS technology so that the sender automatically checks whether the future support encryption, and if it has a valid security certificates before sending, to make sure the transmission to the correct mail server.
E-mail and face failure posting in case there is a problem, and offers the user the possible causes, with included a wide range of technical details on how to do this in practice.
And similar to the proposed protocol HSTS protocol developer for the HTTP, which aims to prevent attacks on the protocol safe HTTPS, and according to the latest Google data, it is encrypted 83 percent of e-mail messages sent by Gmail's Gmail users to e-mail services from across providers the world
