[Nottingham] *** TODAY *** Encryption and signing *** TODAY ***

[AK]

Hi all, 

There's a goo document available from the Open Group regarding secure messaging. It's a bit dated (2001) but the concept is still valid.

https://www2.opengroup.org/ogsys/jsp/publications/PublicationDetails.jsp?catalogno=g260

ISBN 1-931624-14-3

Hope it helps ;)
