XSEND(1)							      XSEND(1)

NAME
       xsend, xget, enroll - secret mail

SYNOPSIS
       xsend person
       xget
       enroll

DESCRIPTION
       These  commands	implement  a  secure communication channel; it is like
       mail(1),	 but  no  one  can  read  the  messages	 except	 the  intended
       recipient.    The  method  embodies  a  public-key  cryptosystem	 using
       knapsacks.

       To receive messages, use enroll; it asks you for a  password  that  you
       must subsequently quote in order to receive secret mail.

       To  receive  secret  mail,  use	xget.  It asks for your password, then
       gives you the messages.

       To send secret mail, use xsend in the same manner as the ordinary  mail
       command.	  (However,  it	 will  accept  only  one  target).   A message
       announcing the receipt of secret mail is also sent by ordinary mail.

FILES
       /usr/spool/secretmail/*.key: keys
       /usr/spool/secretmail/*.[0-9]: messages

SEE ALSO
       mail (1)

BUGS
       It should be integrated with ordinary mail.  The announcement of secret
       mail makes traffic analysis possible.
