  Email breaches are commonplace, and they expose a wealth of personal,
business, and political data that may have devastating consequences. The
current email system allows any attacker who gains access to your email to
prove the authenticity of the stolen messages to third parties -- a property
arising from a necessary anti-spam / anti-spoofing protocol called DKIM. This
exacerbates the problem of email breaches by greatly increasing the potential
for attackers to damage the users' reputation, blackmail them, or sell the
stolen information to third parties.
  In this paper, we introduce "non-attributable email", which guarantees that a
wide class of adversaries are unable to convince any third party of the
authenticity of stolen emails. We formally define non-attributability, and
present two practical system proposals -- KeyForge and TimeForge -- that
provably achieve non-attributability while maintaining the important protection
against spam and spoofing that is currently provided by DKIM. Moreover, we
implement KeyForge and demonstrate that that scheme is practical, achieving
competitive verification and signing speed while also requiring 42% less
bandwidth per email than RSA2048.
