This library perform S/MIME operations from within Emacs.
Functions for fetching certificates from public repositories are provided, currently from DNS and LDAP.
It uses OpenSSL (tested with version 0.9.5a and 0.9.6) for signing, encryption and decryption.
Some general knowledge of S/MIME, X.509, PKCS#12, PEM etc is probably required to use this library in any useful way. Especially, don't expect this library to buy security for you. If you don't understand what you are doing, you're as likely to lose security than gain any by using this library.
This library is not intended to provide a "raw" API for S/MIME, PKCSx or similar, it's intended to perform common operations done on messages encoded in these formats. The terminology chosen reflect this.
