Finding a way to crack S/MIME would mean gaining access to an untold wealth of information. However, that same universality makes it a target as well. Since it was developed to be a universal standard of encryption, S/MIME has been put through its paces to ensure that it is an effective method of securing data. While identity validation is always part of a message sent using S/MIME, message encryption is optional. Once sent, the recipient uses their 'private key,' derived the same way, to decrypt the message to make it readable.

Much like encryption programs like PGP, the email gets encrypted using a 'public key' derived from the user's digital certificate and a password. That same certificate can be used to encrypt email to avoid a third-party from viewing it. When the recipient receives the message, the signature gets checked against the sender information to validate that it indeed came from the person it claims to be from. When an email is sent using S/MIME, it gets stamped with that digital signature. That certificate gets recorded in a database, be it a private company's server or a public registry on the internet.
