Entrust S/MIME Enterprise

What is an S/MIME certificate?

Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME) certificates secure email communication through end-to-end encryption and identify the sender with a digital signature. They are a standard for encrypting public keys and signing MIME data.

S/MIME certificates allow email recipients to identify the email’s source, enabling employees to verify that the email comes from a CEO, CFO, or another member within the organization and trust the “From” address of the email.
