Systems and methods for secure messaging are provided. A sender may
encrypt an email message for a recipient. The email message may contain
authenticated sender-recipient mapping information. When a recipient
requests a client software download or private key from a service
provider, the service provider can verify the authenticity of the
sender-recipient mapping information. This assures the service provider
that the recipient has received a communication from the sender and
allows the service provider to provide services to the recipient based on
the status of the sender. If the sender is a member of an organization
that is a direct customer of the service provider, the service provider
may satisfy the recipient's service request.
