It's been said that S/MIME has more implementations than users.
My guess would be there's more PGP users than S/MIME, but I could be wrong (and I doubt anyone has reliable numbers). In any case, everyone should agree that both are super niche.
- jcranmer 8y agoThere's almost certainly more users of S/MIME than PGP. PGP keyservers can be well-analyzed for number of available keys, which is somewhere in the region of hundred thousands to millions, with the number of active users probably around a hundred thousand or so. S/MIME is known to be used by the DoD and CAC, which gives it several million users.
