Individually sign and encrypt a message

Encrypting an Outlook email 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.Click New

3.Click Menu > Message Options

4.In the Security fi eld, select the Encrypt message and Sign message check boxes. Then click Done
