Emails are often the gateway to sensitive information and important data in the digital world. But how secure is your inbox? An unprotected email account is like an open invitation for cybercriminals. The solution? Secure encryption – and this is where S/MIME comes into play.

What is S/MIME?

S/MIME stands for Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions and is a standard for secure email communication. It is based on public-key cryptography, a method that uses two keys: a private key and a public key. These keys allow emails to be digitally signed and encrypted to protect them from tampering and unauthorized access.

How S/MIME Works in Practice

1. Digitally signing emails:
With a digital signature, you can ensure that your email has not been tampered with and truly originates from you.

• The sender signs the message with their private key.
• The recipient verifies the signature using the sender's public key.

2. Encrypting emails:
Protect confidential content by encrypting your emails.

• The sender encrypts the message using the recipient's public key.
• Only the recipient can decrypt and read the message using their private key.

Why S/MIME?

S/MIME offers two significant advantages:

• Integrity: Your emails remain unaltered and authentic.
• Confidentiality: Only the intended recipient can read the content.
