Ok.

I have no luck :-(. See below. I followed the instructions from smime.el.

Excerpt from my .emacs:

 (smime-CA-file "\"~/perso/certs/cacert.pem\"")
 (canlock-password "4de89211c1a1f5ac8dca322797c2cb38f36f2018")
 (smime-keys (quote (("Nicolas.Kowalski@imag.fr" "\"~/perso/certs/niko.pem\"" nil))))


And when I try to send a smime signed message, I have (sorry for the
long lines) :
