Hy. Smime and tls are a completely different layer of security. Transport Layer Security works over the client-server connection, smime is encrypting the letter itself. I recommend TLS (MUST ONE) and using for example openpgp or gpg as an additional security layer.

Hi experts, we are in the way of implement E-mail Encryption, by now
we have two proposals:

S/MIME and TLS, we think the last one is better.


I would like to know if you have a better solution?


Thanks in Advance.
