Individually sign and encrypt a message

Encrypting an Outlook e-mail message protects the privacy of the message 

by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher (scrambled) text. Only 

the recipient who has the authorization key can decipher the message.

Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the authorization 

key to the message. This proves to the recipient that the message is from 

you and not from an imposter or a hacker, and that the message has not 

been altered.

1. 

In the message list, select Outlook E-mail.

2. 

Select New.

3. 

Select Menu > Message Options.

4. 

In the Security field, select the Encrypt message and Sign message 

check boxes and then select Done.

Verify the digital signature on a signed message you
