The rasn-smime crate provides an implementation of [RFC 8551] (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions). It is designed to provide a consistent way to send and receive secure MIME data, supporting cryptographic security services such as authentication, message integrity, non-repudiation of origin (via digital signatures), and data confidentiality (via encryption).
Important Note on Scope: Like other rasn core crates, this crate does not perform authentication or encryption itself. Instead, it provides the shared ASN.1 data types required to build your own S/MIME clients and servers.
