Encrypting an E-mail and Adding a Digital Signature (S/MIME)

About S/MIME

If S/MIME is installed in your environment, you can configure its settings on this machine.

S/MIME is one of the E-mail encryption schemes. Using S/MIME encrypts an E-mail sent from this machine, preventing a interception by third parties during sending. Adding a digital signature to an E-mail provides assurance regarding the authenticity of the sender, and certifies that no data has been falsified.
