96 Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook
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.
To digitally sign and encrypt a new message
1. In the message list, select Outlook E-mail.
2. Click New.
3. Click Menu > Message Options.
4. In the Security field, select the Encrypt message and Sign message
check boxes. Then click
Done.

2. At the top of the message, click View Signature Status.
