In this method, also can import digital envelope earlier, editor's mail original text is also encrypted, create new mail (having identical addressee) again or (for example revise former mail with the mail original text, adopt once more and send) formation one envelope new mail, referring to Figure 12, then they are combined into the complete digital envelope ciphering mail of an envelope; Earlier editor's mail original text and encrypting is created new mail (having identical addressee with the mail original text) again or is revised former mail, selects digital envelope then, referring to Fig. 9, and they is combined into the complete digital envelope mail of an envelope; In addition, also can edit the mail original text earlier, select digital envelope again, re-use the E-mail encryption/decryption program mail original text is encrypted to encrypt data, use e-mail program to create an envelope new mail (having identical addressee) then or revise former mail with the mail original text, referring to Figure 11, again with the text of digital envelope as new mail, with the ciphertext annex of encrypt data, thereby be combined into the complete digital envelope ciphering mail of an envelope (comprising digital envelope and ciphertext annex) as new mail.From step S10-S20 a variety of variations are arranged according to Fig. 8, more than slightly lift four kinds of situation explanations.
After the addressee gets the mail, see the digital envelope ciphering mail (band annex sign) of page marks language format earlier, referring to Figure 14.Use E-mail encryption/decryption program decrypting ciphertext annex, from the ciphertext annex of mail, recover sender's mail original text (comprising text and/or annex), referring to Figure 15.
Below, be example with the system shown in the accompanying drawing 4, the invention will be further described.The process of the generation of digital envelope ciphering mail, transmission, reception and reading is referring to Fig. 8, the nested process selecting Fig. 9 of digital envelope.The generation and the reading method of present embodiment digital envelope ciphering mail are as follows:
(1) sender execution in step S10 at first, open e-mail program, e-mail program, E-mail encryption/decryption program and digital envelope import program running on same PC or server or other machines that can move (referring to Fig. 4), the user can move this three programs by this machine, also can move this three programs by the access to netwoks remote machine, this remote mode can be that wired network also can be a wireless network, such as using e-mail program based on the browser mode of the Internet or by the 3G wireless network.The said e-mail program of the present invention can be an e-mail program arbitrarily, such as the Foxmail of the Web mail of the Lotus of the Outlook Express of Microsoft, IBM Corporation, Netease 163, company of Tengxun and be used for Blackberry of mobile phone mail etc.;
(2) execution in step S12 opens e-mail program, a newly-built envelope mail, according to known method, the particular content of editor's mail original text, for example, input addressee email address, the input mail matter topics, if annex is arranged, select to insert annex, write the message body content, up to the editor who finishes the mail original text, referring to Figure 13;
(3) secondly, execution in step S14, use the E-mail encryption/decryption program, the mail original text is encrypted the generation encrypt data, the E-mail encryption/decryption program can be used the encryption and decryption technology of traditional certificate system, also can be based on the cryptographic technique of sign,, also can use the encryption and decryption technology on the GTmail Mail Clients software of Ao Lian scientific ﹠ technical corporation such as the encryption and decryption technology on the outlookExpress client software that can use Microsoft.This encryption and decryption program can isolated operation, also can with the closely integrated operation together of e-mail program;
(4) execution in step S16, use e-mail program revise former mail or create an envelope new mail (this mail has identical addressee with the mail original text that step S12 generates);
(5) execution in step S18, use digital envelope to import program, at this diji, or the digital envelope of selecting the user to like at remote server by network, it can be an independent module that digital envelope imports program, also can closely integrate with e-mail program, is used for the sender and selects digital envelope, can by with the selection of e-mail program, insert the annex identical functions and realize, also can use the opening of windows program, duplicate, paste functionality realizes.For example, the browser that uses windows is at the data of opening one section page marks language format on the network or on this diji (digital envelope that the user likes), such as, a html file; Use the copy function of windows to duplicate this page data, use paste functionality to paste the text of creating new mail as step S16.The digital envelope of like this, just the user being liked imports and is text;
(6) then, the text of the new mail (perhaps amended mail) that execution in step S20, the digital envelope that step S18 is selected generate as step S16, such as can adopt the duplicating of existing email editor, paste, technology such as insertion; The ciphertext annex of the new mail (perhaps amended mail) that the encrypt data that step S14 is generated generates as step S16, such as annex selection, the insertion technology that can adopt the existing email editor, thereby be combined into the complete digital envelope ciphering mail of an envelope (comprising digital envelope and ciphertext annex);
(7) execution in step S22 sends to mail reception person by the Internet or local area network (LAN) with above-mentioned digital envelope ciphering mail, can carry out according to prior art;
(8) execution in step S24, mail reception person opens e-mail program on PC or server, receive above-mentioned digital envelope ciphering mail according to known method;
(9) execution in step S26, receive digital envelope ciphering mail after, at first show and read digital envelope, and contain the ciphertext annex, referring to accompanying drawing 14;
(10) execution in step S28, at this moment, machine moves corresponding E-mail encryption/decryption program, referring to Figure 14, with the deciphering of ciphertext annex, reverts to the mail original text, referring to Figure 15;
(11) execution in step S30 shows and the reading mail original text;
The addressee is after getting the mail, and what at first see is digital envelope, by the deciphering annex, just can see the mail original text that the sender writes.If the addressee does not use the E-mail encryption/decryption program, just can only see the content on the digital envelope, can not untie the ciphertext annex.
Step S12 can change to the sequencing of step S20, and multiple situation is arranged, and four kinds of situations commonly used are seen Fig. 9-Figure 12, and above step is to narrate by the flow process of Fig. 9 again, and other situations are analogized.
Repeated execution of steps S12-S20 can overlap digital envelope again, and constantly repeat down on digital envelope, just as using traditional papery mail, can overlap an envelope again in the envelope outside.By using the E-mail encryption/decryption program, the ciphertext annex of deciphering digital envelope ciphering mail can be with repeatedly nested digital envelope showing in layer.
By the above as seen, digital envelope ciphering mail is simple, easy-to-use, but multilayer nest is interesting strong, can demonstrate fully sender's personal characteristics, has huge media value; Simultaneously,, strengthened the fail safe and the confidentiality of mail, had huge commercial promise by encryption technology.
Below be a specific embodiment:
Sender Zhang San (addresses of items of mail is zhang@abc.com), send an envelope digital envelope ciphering mail for addressee Li Si (addresses of items of mail is li@xyz.com), Zhang San and Li Si receive and dispatch digital envelope ciphering mail on PC, move e-mail program on the PC, the E-mail encryption/decryption program, digital envelope imports program, e-mail program is selected the Outlook Express of Microsoft for use, the E-mail encryption/decryption program is selected the GTPOE safety insert of Ao Lian company for use, digital envelope importing program is an option program, and the annex of use and e-mail program is selected, inserting identical program function (also can be with duplicating, the function of pasting).Zhang San at first opens e-mail program, writes Li Si's addresses of items of mail (li@xyz.com), writes mail header, writes the message body content, if annex is arranged, selects to insert annex.Use the mail original text of writing above the E-mail encryption/decryption program encryption to Li Si then, generate encrypt data, this encrypt data can be used as file and preserves temporarily, also can reside in the internal memory temporarily; Simultaneously, use e-mail program to create an envelope new mail, the addressee of this new mail still is Li Si (li@xyz.com), use digital envelope to import the procedure Selection digital envelope, and as the new text of creating mail, open html file (digital envelope that the user likes) on the network or on this machine such as the browser that can use windows, use the copy function of windows to duplicate this html file, paste the text of creating mail for new; In addition, the encrypt data that generates is encrypted in the front insert the new mail of creating as annex, like this, form the complete digital envelope ciphering mail of an envelope by digital envelope and encrypt data, Zhang San selects to send mail, sends to Li Si.After Li Si gets the mail, see digital envelope earlier, use E-mail encryption/decryption plug-in unit deciphering annex then, recover mail original text (comprising text and/or annex).
