<div class="section"><h2>Cryptography Mailets<a name="Cryptography_Mailets"></a></h2>
<p>Mailets which encode, decode, sign and verify mail plus cryptology utilities.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h2>S/MIME Mailets<a name="SMIME_Mailets"></a></h2>
<p>
<acronym title="Secure / Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions">S/MIME</acronym>
provides
cryptographic services for
<acronym title="Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions">
<a class="externalLink" href="http://james.apache.org/server/rfclist/basic/rfc2045.txt">MIME</a>
</acronym>
messages.
These services include public key digital signature and encryption.
Authentication is certificate based and so uses a hierarchical trust model.
</p>
<p>
SMIME is standardised by the

James provides:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="apidocs/org/apache/james/transport/mailets/smime/SMIMEDecrypt.html">SMIMECheckSignature</a>
Verifies the S/MIME signature of a message. The s/mime signing ensure that the
private key owner is the real sender of the message.
</li>
<li>
<a href="apidocs/org/apache/james/transport/mailets/smime/SMIMEDecrypt.html">SMIMEDecrypt</a>
Decrypts a S/MIME encrypted message.
</li>
<li>
<a href="apidocs/org/apache/james/transport/mailets/smime/SMIMESign.html">SMIMESign</a>
Puts a server-side SMIME signature on a message.
