Secure Email Certificates
DigiCert offers three types of Secure Email Certificates to sign and encrypt your emails. Signing validates your emails as coming from you, while encryption protects sensitive email data.
Secure Email for Individual
With Secure Email for Individual certificates, secure emails from public email service providers such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Hotmail, and MSN and on your email domains.
The industry refers to this type of S/MIME certificate as a mailbox-validated email certificate because we only validate the email addresses included on the certificate.
Secure Email for Organization
With Secure Email for Organization certificates, secure emails for your organization on your email domains. These certificates are ideal for securing emails from shared or other email addresses not assigned to a specific individual. Like TLS certificates, you must demonstrate control over your email domains.
The industry refers to this type of S/MIME certificate as an organization-validated email certificate because we validate the organization.
Secure Email for Business
With Secure Email for Business certificates, secure emails for individuals in your organization on your email domains. Like TLS certificates, you must demonstrate control over your email domains.
The industry refers to this type of S/MIME certificate as a sponsor-validated email certificate because the organization attests that the individual is a valid employee or company representative.
