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, tap Menu > Switch Accounts >
Outlook E-mail.
2. Tap New.
3. Tap Menu > Message Options.
4. Select the Encrypt message and Sign message check
boxes, and tap OK.
