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.

Outlook E-mail.
