This agent interfaces between two entities: a key distribution center (\KDC/) and a user agent (\UA/). The \KDC/ manages keys for the encryption of text messages, which two subscribers to a key distribution service (\KDS/) may exchange. The \TMA/ is independent of any underlying message transport system. \lp Subscribers to the \KDC/ are known by unique identifiers, known as IDs. In addition to distributing keys, the \KDC/ also offers a simple directory lookup service, in which the ``real-world'' name of a subscriber may be mapped to an ID, or the inverse mapping may be performed. \lp This document details three software components: \underbar{first}, a prototype key distribution service, which has been running in a TCP/IP environment since December, 1984; \underbar{second}, a prototype trusted mail agent; and, \underbar{third}, modifications to an existing \UA/, the Rand \MH/ Message Handling system, which permit interaction with the prototype \TMA/. \par} \input text \input refs \input appendixA \input appendixB \input appendixC \printcontents \unskip\footnote{}{\hskip -\parskip This document (version \versiontag/) was \TeX set \today\ with DISS.STY v\version.} \showsummary \bye
