Secure document management and distribution in an open network environment

Abstract. This paper analyzes the problem of secure document management and distribution in an open network environment. Reader and author authentication, document integrity, origin, and privacy are addressed by a public-key based solution which exploits a combination of the PEM format with SSL-enhanced FTP and HTTP servers and clients. The solution is being implemented as part of a project to provide network security to the Italian public administration.
