Trusted Information Systems (TIS) has developed the Trusted Mail System (TMail) as part of a DARPA sponsored research project. TMail is a prototype privacy enhanced mail system designed to investigate embedded cryptography within a trusted system. It was based on the message processing procedures described in RFC 1040. At the request of DARPA and the Privacy and Security Research Group (PSRG), TIS is planning to modify the TMail system to be compliant with the recently released RFC 1113, RFC 1114 and RFC 1115 and to make it available to the Internet. We are working closely with RSADSI and BBN with respect to the release of TMail and other software necessary to support message processing and the key management procedures described in the RFCs. The TMail system has been incorporated into the Rand Message Handling System. It runs on Sun Workstations using SunOS (UNIX). We are currently in alpha testing between our East and West coast offices and with NIST. We are planning to release the system to the PSRG members for beta testing before the end of the year. This requires some modifications to the TMail software and packaging the system for release. Release to the general public is planned for early 1990.
