Description

S/MIME encryption involves using X.509 certificates for digital signatures and/or encyrption/decryption of email.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5751

The JavaMail FAQ states that S/MIME is not supported in standard javamail but the API is flexible enough to allow it and other vendors do support it. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/faq-135477.html

The JavaMail web site has a list of links to related projects that do include S/MIME support: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javamail/third-party-136965.html

Another link provided from the JavaMail FAQ

This is not quite within reach of the crypto DataFormat in Camel because S/MIME is specific to MIME-formatted email.
