EESST - Email Exchange of Secondary School Transcripts

Version 1.3.0

http://sourceforge.net/projects/eesst/

This package implements a common format for exchanging secondary
school academic transcripts via electronic mail.  MIME and OpenPGP
email standards are applied to enable secure communication of
transcripts directly from each student to his or her chosen recipients
without intervention or monitoring by any third-parties.  Thus, using
the defined format better protects student privacy and independence
than does current practice.  Because transcripts are digitally signed
by the originating school official, transcript recipients can
independently verify that transcripts received directly from students
have not been altered in transit.

DOCUMENTATION

In addition to extensive programmer documentation, this package also
