Shibboleth: Private Mailing List Manager
Matt Curtin, Interhack Corporation
Abstract
We describe Shibboleth, a program to manage private
Internet mailing lists. Differing from other mailing list managers,
Shibboleth manages lists or groups of lists that are closed,
or have membership by invitation only. So instead of focusing on
automating the processes of subscribing and unsubscribing readers, we
include features like SMTP forgery detection, prevention of
outsiders' ability to harvest usable email addresses from mailing
list archives, and support for cryptographic strength user
authentication and nonrepudiation.
