S/MIME

The S/MIME security solution provides email message encryption, integrity, and authentication between senders and recipients. It employs many of the same concepts and technologies as SSL/TLS (such as certificates), but has different requirements.

Because the vast majority of email sent on the internet is not formatted with S/MIME, this security solution is typically only used under special circumstances (for example, a pre-established relationship with an external party who requires highly security-sensitive email).

This section includes:

• Supported mail providers for S/MIME
• Email certificate/private keys for users required for S/MIME
• Configure CIC for S/MIME after determining that email encryption functions properly outside of CIC
