SECURE EMAIL ENCRYPTION SOLUTIONS

S/MIME Certificates

Using encryption and digital signatures, Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) certificates ensure email security, confidentiality, and integrity. The S/MIME certificate uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the message and only the intended recipient’s private key can decrypt the message. This allows the sender to be confident that the signed email message will only be read by the intended party, and the receiver to verify the integrity and claimed origin of the message.

It’s crucial for both businesses and individuals to secure email communications and ensure message integrity. Whether you’re an individual, startup, small business, or enterprise, Sectigo offers S/MIME email certificate options that will meet your needs.

Sectigo is a leading S/MIME certificate provider and our secure email certificates are supported by all major mail applications including Microsoft Outlook, Exchange, Apple Mail, popular mobile operating systems, and more.

How they work

S/MIME certificates work by using asymmetric encryption. When an email is sent, the sender encrypts the contents with the recipient's public key; only the recipient’s private key can then decrypt the message, ensuring confidentiality. Similarly, SMIME certificates can be used for digitally signing an email. In that case, the private key is used for signature creation based on the email content, which verifies the authenticity of the message and confirms that the contents are unaltered.
