Encrypting an E-mail and Adding a Digital Signature (S/MIME)
S/MIME
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 transmission. Adding a digital signature to an E-mail provides assurance regarding the authenticity of the sender, and certifies that no data has been falsified.
To use this function, the optional Hard Disk is required.
Operations required to use this function (for the administrator)
Enable the S/MIME mode. To encrypt an E-mail, register the encryption certificate in the E-mail address.
How to configure the setting is explained using Web Connection. For details, refer to Here.
