Abstract
In this paper we propose a new certified e-mail system which alleviates computational overhead of mobile devices with limited computing power considering server-supported signatures scheme. Our system is also fault-tolerant and robust against mobile adversary and conspiracy attacks since it distributes secure information to several servers based on the threshold cryptography.
