## Message Protection Profiles
|

|

The product and security profile approved on 2026-08-04 makes S/MIME the first
|
||||
institutional signing/encryption profile and OpenPGP an additional explicit
|
||||
profile. Neither profile is implemented by treating protection as a local Mail
|
||||
toggle:
|
||||
|
||||
- private-key custody belongs to an Encryption/KMS provider and usable private
|
||||
keys are never persisted by Mail;
|
||||
- recipient certificates and keys initially come from administered directory
|
||||
or LDAP sources; opportunistic Internet discovery is deferred;
|
||||
- required signing or encryption fails closed when material is missing,
|
||||
expired, revoked, unverifiable, or its provider is unavailable;
|
||||
- plaintext fallback is permitted only by an explicit, audited policy and is
|
||||
never inferred from provider failure; and
|
||||
- delivery evidence pins the signing identity, trust/revocation evidence,
|
||||
algorithm suite, key version, and any explicit downgrade decision.
|
||||
|
||||
Provider-neutral S/MIME custody and interoperability fixtures are the first
|
||||
implementation slice. OpenPGP uses the same no-silent-downgrade boundary after
|
||||
the S/MIME profile is stable.
