This is called PGP and S/MIME. Both are valid IETF RFC.

From an industry point of view, S/MIME seems to be the one that will survive
in the long run, because it is implemented in nearly all mail clients and
follows the certificates used in SSL/TLS which is widely adopted (IPSec to
name only one).

However, none of them is widely implemented for e-mail purposes because of
problems to build a global PKI (in short). I still haven't found a company
that will give/sell me a certificate that allows me to sign my
organisational e-mails certificates. ISOC is working on it...

Cheers.
