Hi All,
I would like to use a outlook profile to send a certificate with encryption
since all the mail send from this profile is confidential. I am not sure how
to create the certificate for this, i do not want to use third party
certificate , only to use Microsoft Certificate.
I do have an internal certificate server, but i am not sure how to go ahead
with creation & then attaching the certificate to the outlook profile & then
testing the mail.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks

You don't get to use a Microsoft certificate. You have to get one of
your own. Thawte (now owned by Verisign) is still free for e-mail
certs. However, you don't send using your cert to encrypt your e-mails.
You use the public key of whomever you are sending your e-mails. That
is, you must obtain the recipient's public key for their cert so you can
use it to encrypt your e-mails which then only the recipient can decrypt
using their private key for their cert which only they have. You
encrypt by invite: the recipient sends you a digitally signed e-mail
*if* they want to receive encrypted e-mails. You don't get to encrypt
your e-mails that you send to them unless they want you to. Any e-mail
cert you install for Outlook will be the public key you give to others
for them to encrypt their e-mails that they send to you, and then you
decrypt your inbound encrypted emails using your private key.
