Infineon Security Platform Solution - User Initialization Wizard
Secure e-mail Configuration
Secure e-mail is the user-specific e-mail encryption and/or signing to prevent unauthorized persons from reading or changing your e-mails. Using this feature guarantees that only the e-mail creator and the specified recipients will be able to decrypt and read the message or validate the identity of the sender.
E-mail encryption and signing is supported for the most popular e-mail applications. If secure e-mail is going to be used, the available help for the supported e-mail clients is listed and you can get additional information here.
At present, the following e-mail clients are supported:
- Microsoft Windows Mail/Outlook Express
- Microsoft Outlook 2003
- Microsoft Outlook XP
- Microsoft Outlook 2000
- Mozilla Thunderbird
The e-mail client must be configured to use the digital certificate that is protected with the Security Platform in order to use secure e-mail. Contact your system administrator to make a certificate request using a proper Certificate Authority or make a request using a Certificate Authority on the internet.
For each of the listed e-mail clients a detailed configuration and user guide is available through the appropriate button.
Note: If you do not yet have a digital certificate that can be used for secure e-mail, obtain such a certificate before you continue the configuration steps.
