;; Especially, don't expect this library to buy security for you. If
;; you don't understand what you are doing, you're as likely to lose
;; security than gain any by using this library.
+;;
+;; This library is not intended to provide a "raw" API for S/MIME,
+;; PKCSx or similar, it's intended to perform common operations
+;; done on messages encoded in these formats. The terminology chosen
+;; reflect this.
+;;
+;; The home of this file is in Gnus CVS, but also available from
+;; http://josefsson.org/smime.html.
;;; Quick introduction:
;; that decision. One might think that this even influenced were I
;; store my keys, and one would probably be right. :-)
;;
+;; Update: Mathias Herberts sent the patch. However, it uses
+;; environment variables to pass the password to OpenSSL, which is
+;; slightly insecure. Hence a new todo: use a better -passin method.
+;;
+;; Cache password for e.g. 1h
+;;
;; Suggestions and comments are appreciated, mail me at simon@josefsson.org.
-;; <rant>
+;; begin rant
;;
;; I would include pointers to introductory text on concepts used in
;; this library here, but the material I've read are so horrible I
;; Also, I'm not going to mention anything about the wonders of
;; cryptopolitics. Oops, I just did.
