How can I
configure e-mail and message security in
Outlook 2003?
After installing the
online Certificate Authority (CA) and
after obtaining a user Digital
Certificate signed by your CA you will
now need to configure Outlook 2003 to
use the new message security features.
These features include:
-
Message encryption
-
Message signing
Note: Before being
able to encrypt or sign messages you
will need to apply for, receive and
install a Digital Certificate designated
for this purpose. For more info please
see the Related Articles section at the
bottom of this page.
In order to configure
