Crypt::OpenSSL::SMIME Description

Crypt::OpenSSL::SMIME is a Perl module for signing and encrypting messages with S/MIME standard using OpenSSL libraries. Crypt::OpenSSL::SMIME is a Perl module for signing and encrypting messages with S/MIME standard using OpenSSL libraries.SYNOPSISuse Crypt::OpenSSL::SMIME; $smime = new Crypt::OpenSSL::SMIME({ signer_from => 'sender@test.com', signer_cert => 'sender.crt', signer_key => 'sender.key', signer_key_pass => 'mysecurepassword', outfile => 'MailEncrypted.txt' });$smime->loadDataFile('MailForSend.txt');$smime->encryptData('recipient.crt', 'recipient@test.com', 'Subject text');Crypt::OpenSSL::SMIME is a brain dead minimalistic not yet secure for use by paranoid people wrapper around OpenSSL library which was extremely useful for us at YASP Software Ltd to send sensitive information to Outlook and Mozilla mailboxes and requires NO additional support from the mail reader software to decrypt messages unlike PGP.Ok, here is clear and long description.It is minimalistic becouse it does sign and encrypt operations in one go. No flexibility (yet).It is not yet secure for paranoid people becouse it creates outputfile. On first go this file will contain signed message. I.e. original message in clear text and signature appended. On second go this file will be overwritten with encrypted one. So bad boy has a couple of milliseconds to read unencrypted data from disk. I know i am paranoid but the question is: am I paranoid enough ? We are working on the next version which will be secure even for paranoid users.It is extremely useful becouse allow to encrypt mail messages with S/MIME standard with 4 lines of Perl code. Mail reading software like Mozilla and Outlook have builtin support for this standard unlike PGP. Recipient will need to install his certificate though. Which is proven to be simple step even for dumb people. If you managed to run your own CA recipient will probably want your root CA certificate as weel. I hope i used well known words here.
