<a href="glossary.xhtml#encryption">Encryption</a> makes it very difficult
for anyone other than the intended recipient to read the message while it is
in transit over the Internet.</p>
<p>Signing and encryption are not available for newsgroup messages.</p>
<p>Before you can sign or encrypt a message, you must take these preliminary
steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Obtain one or more <a href="glossary.xhtml#certificate">certificates</a>
(the digital equivalents of ID cards). For details, see
<a href="using_certs_help.html#using_certs_get">Getting Your Own
Certificate</a>.</li>
<li>Configure the security settings for your email account. For details, see
<a href="#config_account">Configuring Your Security Settings</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Once you have completed these steps, you can complete the instructions in
<a href="#signing">Signing &amp; Encrypting a New Message</a>.</p>
<p>The sections that follow provide a brief overview of how digital signatures
and encryption work. For more technical details on this subject, see the
online document
<a href="http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/security/pkin/index.htm"
target="_blank">Introduction to Public-Key Cryptography</a>.</p>
<h3 id="how_digital_signatures_work">How Digital Signatures Work</h3>
<p>A digital signature is a special code, unique to each message, created by
means of <a href="glossary.xhtml#public-key_cryptography">public-key
cryptography</a>.</p>
<p>A digital signature is completely different from a handwritten signature,
although it can sometimes be used for similar legal purposes, such as signing
a contract.</p>
<p>To create a digital signature for an email message that you are sending, you
need two things:</p>
<ul>
<li>A <a href="glossary.xhtml#signing_certificate">signing certificate</a>
that identifies you for this purpose. Every time you sign a message, your
signing certificate is included with the message. The certificate includes a
<a href="glossary.xhtml#public_key">public key</a>. The presence of the
certificate in the message permits the recipient to verify your digital
signature.
<p>Your certificate is a bit like your name and phone number in the
phonebook&mdash;it is public information that helps other people communicate
with you.</p></li>
<li>A <a href="glossary.xhtml#private_key">private key</a>, which is created
and stored on your computer when you first obtain a certificate.
<p>Your private key for a signing certificate is protected by your
<a href="glossary.xhtml#master_password">master password,</a> and the
&brandShortName; program does not disclose it to anyone else. The Mail &amp;
Newsgroup software uses your private key to create a unique, verifiable
digital signature for every message you choose to sign.</p></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="how_encryption_works">How Encryption Works</h3>
<p>To encrypt an email message, you must have an
<a href="glossary.xhtml#encryption_certificate">encryption certificate</a>
for each of the message's recipients. The public key in each certificate is
used to encrypt the message for that recipient.</p>
<p>If you don&apos;t have a certificate for even a single recipient, the

<h2 id="getting_other_peoples_certificates">Getting Other People's

<p>Every time you send a digitally signed message, your encryption certificate
is automatically included with the message. Therefore, one of the easiest
ways to obtain someone else's certificate is for that person to send you a
digitally signed message.</p>
<p>When you receive such a message, the person's certificate is automatically
stored by the <a href="certs_help.html">Certificate Manager</a>, which is the
part of the browser that keeps track of certificates. This is useful because
you need to have a certificate for each recipient of any email message that
you want to send in encrypted form.</p>
<p>Another way to obtain certificates is to look them up in a public directory,
such as the &quot;phonebook&quot; directories maintained by many
companies.</p>
<p>It's also possible to look up certificates automatically. This feature is
controlled by <a href="mail_help.xhtml#addressing_preferences">Mail &amp;
Newsgroups Preferences - Addressing</a> or
<a href="mail_help.xhtml#addressing">Mail &amp; Newsgroups Account Settings -
Addressing</a>, which can be configured to look up recipients&apos; email
addresses in a directory.</p>
<p>When you are using any account that is configured to look up addresses in a
directory, the same directory will be searched for matching certificates when
you attempt to send an encrypted message to one or more recipients for whom
you don't have certificates on file.</p>
<p>The directory will also be searched for missing certificates when you open
the drop-down menu below the Security icon in the Compose window and choose
View Security Info.</p>

<h2 id="configuring_security_settings">Configuring Security Settings</h2>
<p>Once you have obtained an email certificate (or certificates), you must
specify the certificates you want to use for signing and encrypting
messages.</p>
<p>For information about obtaining email certificates, see
<a href="using_certs_help.html#using_certs_get">Getting Your
Own Certificate</a>.</p>
<p>To specify which signing and encryption certificates to use with a
particular account, begin from the Mail window:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open the Edit menu and choose Mail &amp; Newsgroups Account Settings.</li>
<li>Click Security under the name of the mail account whose security settings
you want to configure.</li>
<li>Under Digital Signing, click Select. (You may be asked to provide your
<a href="glossary.xhtml#master_password">Master Password</a> before you can
proceed further.)
<p>A dialog box appears that allows you to select from among your available
signing certificates.</p>
</li>
<li>Choose the signing certificate you want to use, then click OK.</li>
<li>Follow the same steps under Encryption: click the Select button, select the
encryption certificate you want to use, and click OK.</li>
<p>In some cases you may be able to specify the same certificate under
Encryption that you specified under Digital Signing; check with your system
administrator to find out for sure.</p>
</ol>
<p>Optionally, you can also indicate that you normally want to sign or encrypt
all messages sent from a particular account. These account-specific settings
are for convenience only; you can override the default settings for
individual messages.</p>
<p>To configure your default signing and encryption settings, start from the
Security panel for the account (described above) and select your settings as
follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Under Digital Signing:
<ul>
<li><strong>Digitally sign messages:</strong> When this checkbox is
selected, all the messages you send from this account will be digitally
signed unless you indicate otherwise before you send the message. To turn

<h2>About Digital Signatures &amp; Encryption </h2>
<p>When you compose a mail message, you can choose to attach your digital signature to it. A <a href="glossary.xhtml#digital_signature">digital signature</a> allows recipients of the message to verify that the message really comes from you and hasn't been tampered with since you sent it.
<p>When you compose a mail message, you can also choose to encrypt it. <a href="glossary.xhtml#encryption">Encryption</a> makes it very difficult for anyone other than the intended recipient to read the message while it is in transit over the Internet.
<p>Signing and encryption are not available for newsgroup messages.
<p>Before you can sign or encrypt a message, you must take these preliminary steps:
<ol>
<li>Obtain one or more <a href="glossary.xhtml#certificate">certificates</a> (the digital equivalents of ID cards). For details, see <a href="using_certs_help.html#using_certs_get">Getting Your Own Certificate</a>.</li>
<li>Configure the security settings for your email account. For details, see <a href="#config_account">Configuring Your Security Settings</a>.</li>
</ol>
<p>Once you have completed these steps, you can complete the instructions in <a href="#signing">Signing &amp; Encrypting a New Message</a>.
<p>The sections that follow provide a brief overview of how digital signatures and encryption work. For more technical details on this subject, see the online document <a href="http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/security/pkin/index.htm" TARGET="_blank">Introduction to Public-Key Cryptography</a>.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<a NAME="how_sigs_work"></a>
<h3>How Digital Signatures Work</h3>
<p>A digital signature is a special code, unique to each message, created by means of <a href="glossary.xhtml#public-key_cryptography">public-key cryptography</a>.
<p>A digital signature is completely different from a handwritten signature, although it can sometimes be used for similar legal purposes, such as signing a contract.
<p>To create a digital signature for an email message that you are sending, you need two things:
<p>To turn these settings off or on, click the arrow just below the Security
icon in the Mail toolbar near the top of the window. Then select the item you
want from the drop-down list:</p>
<ul>
<li>A <a href="glossary.xhtml#signing_certificate">signing certificate</a> that identifies you for this purpose. Every time you sign a message, your signing certificate is included with the message. The certificate includes a <a href="glossary.xhtml#public_key">public key</a>. The presence of the certificate in the message permits the recipient to verify your digital signature.</li>
<p>Your certificate is a bit like your name and phone number in the phonebook&mdash;it is public information that helps other people communicate with you.
<li>A <a href="glossary.xhtml#private_key">private key</a>, which is created and stored on your computer when you first obtain a certificate. </li>
<p>Your private key for a signing certificate is protected by your <a href="glossary.xhtml#master_password">master password,</a> and the Mozilla program does not disclose it to anyone else. The Mail &amp; Newsgroup software uses your private key to create a unique, verifiable digital signature for every message you choose to sign.
<li><strong>Do Not Encrypt This Message:</strong> Choose this to turn off
encryption for this message. The message will not be encrypted when it is
sent over the Internet.</li>
<li><strong>Encrypt This Message:</strong> Choose this to turn on encryption
for this message. The message will be sent in encrypted form. However, it
can't be sent unless you have valid certificates for all recipients.</li>
<li><strong>Digitally Sign This Message:</strong> Choose this to turn digital
signing on or off for this message. A checkmark indicates the message will be
signed.</li>
<li><strong>View Security Info:</strong> Choose this to view detailed
information about the security status of this message&mdash;to help you
determine, for example, whether you need to obtain a certificate for one of
the recipients.</li>
</ul>
<p>To view detailed information about the message's security status, you can
also click the key or lock icon as described in
<a href="#message_security_compose_window">Message Security - Compose
Window</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<a NAME="how_encrypt_works"></a>
<h3>
How Encryption Works</h3>
<p>[<a href="#signing_and_encrypting_messages">Return to beginning of
section</a>]</p>
<p>To encrypt an email message, you must have an <a href="glossary.xhtml#encryption_certificate">encryption certificate</a> for each of the message's recipients. The public key in each certificate is used to encrypt the message for that recipient.
<h2 id="reading_signed_and_encrypted_messages">Reading Signed &amp; Encrypted
Messages</h2>
<p>If you don&apos;t have a certificate for even a single recipient, the message cannot be encrypted.
<p>When you view a signed or encrypted message in the Mail window, these icons
near the upper-right corner of the message header indicate the security
status of the message:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td><img src="chrome://messenger/skin/smime/icons/hdrSignOk.gif"
alt="digital signature icon"></img></td><td>The message is digitally
signed and has been validated. If there is a problem with the signature,
the pen is broken.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="chrome://messenger/skin/smime/icons/hdrSignUnknown.gif"
alt="unknown icon"></img></td><td>The message is signed, but it has a
large attachment that has not yet been downloaded from the IMAP server.
As a result, the signature cannot be validated. Click the icon to
download the attachment and validate the signature.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="chrome://messenger/skin/smime/icons/hdrCryptoOk.gif"
alt="encryption icon"></img></td><td>The message is encrypted. If there
is a problem with the encryption, the key is broken.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>The recipient's software uses the recipient's private key, which remains on that person's computer, to decrypt the message.
<p>For information about certificate validation, see
<a href="using_certs_help.html#using_certs_validation">Controlling
