8.5 E-mail Security

Windows Mobile® on your device protects your Outlook e-mails through

Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), which allows you to

digitally sign and encrypt your messages.
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.
Encryption protects the privacy of your message by converting it from

plain, readable text into cipher (scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has

the authorization key can decipher the message.

Requirement

S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile-

based devices are available only with Exchange Server 2003 SP2

or a later version that supports S/MIME. If you are not using one

of these products, or have not yet synchronized, these options are

unavailable.

Note

You can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However, to read an

encrypted message, you need a valid certificate to decrypt it.
