- Hi!
I want to know if i am doing something wrong.
I'm creating a free certificate in
http://www.trustcenter.de/en/products/tc_internet_id.htm
Configuring the MIME certificate on Microsoft Outlook 2007, I try to send an
email encrypted no signed and the client can open the email even if i havend
sent the messager with the sign. Why is this happening? Am I missing
something?
I'm following theses steps:

Not sure if I get you completely right, but to put it "Deutsch und Deutlich":
With your free "TC Internet ID you can receive encrypted messages and electronically sign your e-mails." This means you have a pair of certificates, which consists of a public key and a private key. The public key should be distributed to all and everyone who needs to encrypt mail and verify a digital signature. The digital signature should be kept safe.
Now it works this way:
If Futurist wants to digitally sign an e-mail addressed to, let's say, Preterist, Futurist would use her private key to sign the e-mail. Preterist would need Futurist's public key to verify the signature.If Futurist wants to encrypt an e-mail to Preterist, Futurist would need Preterist's public key, and the only key that is capable of de-encrypting this mail is Preterist's private key.
As you see, you need to distribute your public key, likewise your communication partners need to distribute theirs. In a small organization, we would do the distribution of keys manually. In a large organization, we could do this through the Active Directory.
If there are some restrictions on the use of your certificate, this one is highly recommended:
