Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook 95
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.
