Dear Mentors. Alter getting some idea of how encryption works, and reading about the architecture of mailman. I would like to share the possible idea that im thinking of which is as follows:
So basically what i was thinking is 1. Every subscriber will share there public key to the mailman server 2. Subscribers can get mailing list public key. 3. Poster will then encrypt the message with the mailing list public key and send the message to the mailman server. 4. The message will pass through a handler to check whether the message is encrypted or not. if the massage is not encrypted, it will get bounce back to the the sender. Else mailman will decrypt the message, do its other processes and then send it to all the subscriber after encrypting it with respective public key of the subscribers. 5. The other users decrypt the message with there private key. So the main question here is who will be allowed to get into the mailing list and how will they subscribe to it. One idea is the owner of the list will decide whether to accept the users request to join the list or not. And then add his public key in the database and send him the lists public key. Is this the right direction im thinking in ? I really need your feedback and suggestion on this. regards Sagar Kohli _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
