A DigiCert S/MIME Class 1 certificate is used for secure email communications, enabling email signing and encryption to ensure data integrity and confidentiality.
S/MIME stands for Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, a standard for public key encryption and signing of MIME data.
Benefits include email encryption for confidentiality, digital signing for authenticity, protection against phishing attacks, and compliance with data protection regulations.
It is designed for individual users who need a basic level of email security without identity verification, suitable for personal use or internal communications.
Email encryption ensures that only the intended recipient can read the message by using the recipient’s public key to encrypt the email content.
Digital signing uses the sender’s private key to sign the email, allowing recipients to verify the sender’s identity and the integrity of the message using the sender’s public key.
Losing your private key means you cannot decrypt emails sent to you or sign emails until you obtain a new certificate and distribute the corresponding public key to contacts.
You can obtain it by applying through DigiCert’s website or authorized resellers, completing the necessary steps to generate and download the certificate.
You need access to your email client’s settings to import the certificate and configure it for email signing and encryption.
Yes, you can install the certificate on multiple devices, but you must ensure the private key is securely transferred and stored on each device.
