//! CMS archive
//! SMIME implementation using CMS
//!
//! CMS (PKCS#7) is an encyption standard. It allows signing and ecrypting data using
//! X.509 certificates. cms is a command implemented in OpenSSL to support a
//! SMIME upgrade to e-mail encryption. Changes to adding CMS to the SMIME implementation
//! would break SMIME backwards compatbility so the authors of OpenSSL added the CMS
//! keyword.
