S/MIME Support in SOGo
----------------------
SOGo supports S/MIME email signing and encryption. When receiving S/MIME signed emails, SOGo automatically extracts the
PKCS (Public-Key Cryptography Standard) #7 signature and stores it in the user's personal address book for the contact
associated to the email address of the email's sender. This certificate will allow the user to send encrypted emails to
these recipients.
User that wish to send signed emails must upload their certificate in PKCS #12 format. When doing so,
SOGo will convert the PKCS #12 file into the PEM format and store it in the user's preferences.
If you are looking for a free S/MIME certificate from a well-known CA, please have a look at Comodo: https://www.comodo.com/home/email-security/free-email-certificate.php
