Problems solved by technology

However, due to the fact that the client only provides a single signature verification indicator (i.e., valid or invalid), when a signature verification fails, users of these known clients cannot immediately determine the reason for the failure and which signature verification operation failed
Therefore, when the signature verification process fails, the user cannot determine whether the failure is caused by a mathematical operation failure or a trust state verification failure

Embodiment Construction

[0011] Signature and trust state verification can be performed on secure messages that have at least been signed with a digital signature. The secure message can also be processed by the message sender or an intermediate system between the message sender and the message sending client receiving the secure message in other ways. For example, a secure message may be a message that has been signed, encrypted and then signed, or signed and then encrypted by the sender of the message in accordance with a variant of Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S / MIME). Secure messages can be similarly encoded, compressed or otherwise processed before or after being signed. Any such processing of secure messages will be reversed at the recipient of the message, if required, before signature verification operations are performed.

[0012] A messaging client allows the system on which it runs to receive and possibly send messages. The messaging client also runs on a computer system,...

Abstract

A system and method for providing secure message signature status and trust status indications are disclosed. When a secure message having a digital signature generated by a sender is selected for processing on a messaging client, the digital signature on the message and trust status of the sender are checked. Separate indications are then provided to indicate the results of checking the digital signature and the trust status of the sender.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of secure electronic messaging, and more particularly to processing secure messages to verify and individually indicate the signature status and trust status of the messages. Background technique [0002] Known secure messaging software clients, such as e-mail software applications running on desktop computer systems, use a single icon or other type of signature indicator to indicate whether a signature is valid or invalid, indicating the The status of the signature. The overall process of signature verification by these clients typically involves multiple operations, such as mathematical operations to verify the signature state, and verification of the trust state. However, due to the fact that the client only provides a single signature verification indicator (ie, valid or invalid), when a signature verification fails, users of these known clients cannot immediately determine the cause of the fail...
