ZSmime 1.0 released!

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

ZSmime is useful where Zope accepts confidential information over the web, e.g., credit card numbers, Swiss bank account instructions, etc. 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 new DTML tag "dtml-smime" to Zope.
