What are .p7s and .p7m files?
PKCS#7, also known as CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax), is a widely used binary signature format. A .p7s is usually a detached signature: it holds the signature and the certificate but not the document. A .p7m file wraps the document inside the signature.
A .p7s often shows up as the attachment smime.p7s of a signed e-mail; .p7m is common in Italy, for example. ASiCE Viewer reads the signer's certificate and the signing time from the signature. If the document is inside, you can preview and download it.

Questions about .p7s files
What is smime.p7s?
It is the digital signature of a signed e-mail. The file does not contain the message, only the signature and the sender's certificate. This page shows whose certificate signed the message.
How do I get the PDF out of a .p7m file?
Drop the .p7m file here. If the signature wraps a PDF, it opens in the preview and you can download it.
