No, but it's a good indication that S/MIME isn't ready for prime
time when the three different S/MIME packages available to me can't
talk to each other.
I can name 4 popular ones that can interoperate with each other. So
it looks ready to me.
Go on then.
Here are three that don't: Lotus Notes, Mozilla, and Apple Mail.
I have exchanged HUNDREDS of S/MIME messages with IBM/Lotus
developers in the last year that use Lotus notes- so perhaps you have
a buggy version?
We always sign our email and often encrypt it. I know it works with at
least
newer versions of Lotus Notes.
I have never used Apple mail nor do I own an Apple system so I am
unable to test
for issues with that implementation.
Just for the record, my copy of Apple Mail (on Panther) correctly
verifies Doug's and Phillip's mails, but not mathew's. It says that
mathew's mails have been modified or tampered with. Given that
mathew's mail appears to have been *sent* from Apple Mail, I would
suggest that his problem stems from somewhere in his own setup.
