  57 {\rightskip=0pt\narrower\narrower
  58 \noindent
  59 The design of the \TTI/ prototype Trusted Mail Agent (\TMA/) is discussed.
  60 This agent interfaces between two entities:
  61 a key distribution center (\KDC/) and a user agent (\UA/).
  62 The \KDC/ manages keys for the encryption of text messages,
  63 which two subscribers to a key distribution service (\KDS/) may exchange.
  64 The \TMA/ is independent of any underlying message transport system.
  65
  66 \lp
  67 Subscribers to the \KDC/ are known by unique identifiers,
  68 known as IDs.
  69 In addition to distributing keys,
  70 the \KDC/ also offers a simple directory lookup service,
  71 in which the ``real-world'' name of a subscriber may be mapped to an ID,
  72 or the inverse mapping may be performed.
  73
  74 \lp
  75 This document details three software components:
  76 \underbar{first},
  77 a prototype key distribution service,
  78 which has been running in a TCP/IP environment since December, 1984;
  79 \underbar{second},
  80 a prototype trusted mail agent;
  81 and,
  82 \underbar{third},
  83 modifications to an existing \UA/,
  84 the Rand \MH/ Message Handling system,
  85 which permit interaction with the prototype \TMA/.
