Secure Email List Services (SELS) is an open source
software for creating and developing secure email list services among user
communities. SELS provides signature and encryption capabilities while
ensuring that the List Server does not have access to email plain text. SELS
has been developed with available open-source components and is compatible
with many commonly used email clients.
Current Release
 The current release is 0.7. Download here.
New Changes
- Generate and store Revocation
certificate for List Key (LK). The Moderator distributes them manually
during key update.
- Changed algorithiom CAST5 to AES256
for password based encryption during " user subscribe" in LM.
- Removed email address from user key
pair. Retain name and comment.
- A Subscriber MUST verify fingerprint
after importing the List Moderator's key by out of band means. Changed
instructions.txt in LM/bin.
Here is the SELS Version History.
Features
- Two key lengths supported for all SELS keys, 1024 and 2048 bits.
- Bounce Messages generated for general user errors. See List Subscriber
FAQ entry #4
- User keypair for list in decryption only. This key pair cannot be used
for signing or encrypting a message, thus enhacing SELS security.
- All users are recommended to place full key trust in the List
Moderator's public key and then sign it locally with their signature key.
This allows transitive trust for all keys signed by List Moderator
automatically.
- List Moderator and List Server Administrator can choose key expiration
for their respective keys.
- Batch user subscription with auto generated passwords.
- Multiple recipients supported.
- List Server (LM) , List Moderator (LS), Crypto code (common) and
modified GnuPG library (gpglib) available as a Gnu Autotools code
archive.
Bugs Fixed
- Java version check added to LM and LS code. Bug 17
fixed in 0.6.1 release.
- Bug 16
fixed in 0.5.5 release.
