I will review the theory of propagation of cosmic antimatter and of the main experimental results on positrons and antiprotons in cosmic rays. The interpretations of the data in terms of astrophysical sources will be presented, and the possible contribution of dark matter annihilation in the galactic halo will be inspected. I will address some perspectives in light of forthcoming space missions and theoretical advancements.
