ZSmime

ZSmime enables Zope to generate S/MIME-signed and -encrypted messages.

ZSmime is useful where Zope accepts confidential information over the web, e.g., credit card numbers. Such information can be protected by ZSmime and relayed off-site immediately. This reduces the value of the information carried on-site and in turn reduces the impact of a successful attack against the site.

Even if the S/MIME-protected information remains on-site, it is now encrypted - this introduces additional cost in defeating the protection and may mitigate the effect of a successful site penetration.

ZSmime adds a DTML tag dtml-smime to Zope.
