If not, see . ;;; Commentary: ;; 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. ;; ;; The home of this file is in Gnus, 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 armored 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 its 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 recommend 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. ;; ;; end rant ;;; Revision history: ;; 2000-06-05 initial version, committed to Gnus CVS contrib/ ;; 2000-10-28 retrieve certificates via DNS CERT RRs ;; 2001-10-14 posted to gnu.emacs.sources ;; 2005-02-13 retrieve certificates via LDAP ;;; Code: (require 'dig) (require 'password-cache) (eval-when-compile (require 'cl-lib)) (defgroup smime nil "S/MIME configuration." :group 'mime) (defcustom smime-keys nil "Map mail addresses to a file containing Certificate (and private key).
