Security 2.1: Secure Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME)

Provide a consistent way to send and receive secure MIME data

Other Information:

Provides a consistent way to send and receive secure MIME data. Based on the Internet MIME standard, S/MIME provides cryptographic security services for electronic messaging applications: authentication, message integrity and nonrepudiation of origin (using digital signatures) and data confidentiality (using encryption). S/MIME is not restricted to mail; it can beused with any transport mechanism that transports MIME data, such as HTTP.
