Improved smart card support

keychains to perform secure messaging operations such as digitally signing, verifying, encrypting,
and decrypting mail messages. Several improvements have been made in Entourage 2008 that
enhance support for smart cards. For example, users can now send digitally signed and encrypted
messages by using smart cards that follow one of the approved specifications: Common Access
Card (CAC), Government Smart Card Interoperability Specification (GSCIS), or Personal ID
Verification (PIV).
