The Bouncy Castle Java CMS and S/MIME APIs for handling the CMS and S/MIME protocols. This jar contains CMS and S/MIME APIs for JDK 1.6. The APIs can be used in conjunction with a JCE/JCA provider such as the one provided with the Bouncy Castle Cryptography APIs. If the S/MIME API is used, the JavaMail API and the Java activation framework will also be needed.
