This is called PGP and S/MIME. Both are valid IETF RFC. >From an industry point of view, S/MIME seems to be the one that will survive in the long run, because it is implemented in nearly all mail clients and follows the certificates used in SSL/TLS which is widely adopted (IPSec to name only one).
However, none of them is widely implemented for e-mail purposes because of problems to build a global PKI (in short). I still haven't found a company that will give/sell me a certificate that allows me to sign my organisational e-mails certificates. ISOC is working on it...
