When you need to protect the privacy of an email message, encrypt it. Encrypting an email message in Outlook means it's converted from readable plain text into scrambled cipher text. Only the recipient who has the private key that matches the public key used to encrypt the message can decipher the message for reading. Any recipient without the corresponding private key, however, sees indecipherable text.

A digital signature on an e-mail message helps the recipient verify that you are the authentic sender and not an impostor. To use digital signatures, both the send and recipient must have a mail application that supports the S/MIME standard. Outlook supports the S/MIME standard.

Outlook supports two encryption options:

1. S/MIME encryption - To use S/MIME encryption, the sender and recipient must have a mail application that supports the S/MIME standard. Outlook supports the S/MIME standard.

2. Office 365 Message Encryption (Information Rights Management) - To use Office 365 Message Encryption, the sender must have Office 365 Message Encryption, which is included in the Office 365 Enterprise E3 license.
