S/MIME is a standard for the public key encryption and signing of email.
UNIX Alpine contains a basic implementation of S/MIME based on

To check if this version of Alpine supports S/MIME look at

for &quot;S/MIME&quot; under the &quot;Encryption&quot; heading.

Some limitations:

- <LI> There is no PC-Alpine implementation.
