;;; Commentary:

;; This library perform S/MIME operations from within Emacs.
;;
;; Functions for fetching certificates from public repositories are
;; provided, currently only from DNS.  LDAP support (via EUDC) is planned.
;;
;; 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.
;;
;; The home of this file is in Gnus CVS, but also available from
;; http://josefsson.org/smime.html.

;;; Quick introduction:

;; Get your S/MIME certificate from VeriSign or someplace.  I used
;; Netscape to generate the key and certificate request and stuff, and
;; Netscape can export the key into PKCS#12 format.
;;
;; Enter OpenSSL.  To be able to use this library, it need to have the
;; SMIME key readable in PEM format.  OpenSSL is used to convert the
;; key:
;;
;; $ openssl pkcs12 -in mykey.p12 -clcerts -nodes > mykey.pem
;; ...
;;
;; Now, use M-x customize-variable smime-keys and add mykey.pem as
;; a key.
;;
;; Now you should be able to sign messages!  Create a buffer and write
;; something and run M-x smime-sign-buffer RET RET and you should see
;; your message MIME armoured and a signature.  Encryption, M-x
;; smime-encrypt-buffer, should also work.
;;
;; To be able to verify messages you need to build up trust with
;; someone.  Perhaps you trust the CA that issued your certificate, at
;; least I did, so I export it's certificates from my PKCS#12
;; certificate with:
;;
;; $ openssl pkcs12 -in mykey.p12 -cacerts -nodes > cacert.pem
;; ...
;;
;; Now, use M-x customize-variable smime-CAs and add cacert.pem as a
;; CA certificate.
;;
;; You should now be able to sign messages, and even verify messages
;; sent by others that use the same CA as you.

;; Bugs:
;;
;; Don't complain that this package doesn't do encrypted PEM files,
;; submit a patch instead.  I store my keys in a safe place, so I
;; didn't need the encryption.  Also, programming was made easier by
;; that decision.  One might think that this even influenced were I
;; store my keys, and one would probably be right. :-)
;;
;; Update: Mathias Herberts sent the patch.  However, it uses
;; environment variables to pass the password to OpenSSL, which is
;; slightly insecure. Hence a new todo: use a better -passin method.
;;
;; Cache password for e.g. 1h
;;
;; Suggestions and comments are appreciated, mail me at simon@josefsson.org.

;; begin rant
;;
;; I would include pointers to introductory text on concepts used in
;; this library here, but the material I've read are so horrible I
;; don't want to recomend them.
;;
;; Why can't someone write a simple introduction to all this stuff?
;; Until then, much of this resemble security by obscurity.
;;
;; Also, I'm not going to mention anything about the wonders of
;; cryptopolitics.  Oops, I just did.
