I
can send and receive secure email in two different ways.
S/MIME
Digital ID's.
Using Digital ID's, which are also called digital certificates or
personal certs, is my preferred way to send and receive
secure email. To obtain my S/MIME Digital
ID, click here,
and enter mike@dryjapat.com in the appropriate space.
S/MIME Digital ID's are certificates that can be installed in
email clients like Microsoft Outlook, and enable the sending
of signed email, and the receiving of encrypted email.
S/MIME Digital ID's are available for individuals from
VeriSign, Thawte,
and, for European users,
GlobalSign.
Digital ID's from other vendors are available for enterprise
users. VeriSign Digital ID's cost under $15 on an annual
basis, GlobalSign Digital ID's cost 16 Euros annually, and Thawte Digital ID's are free. Note that
VeriSign's, Thawte's, and other vendors' S/MIME certificates
are compatible with one another.
