Email communication is critical in day-to-day business but also extremely prone to attacks from hackers, phishing attempts and data breaches. In addition to extensive filter technologies like EuropeanMX, our email signing certificates are another important key to defend against those cyber-attacks.

By signing your outbound emails, the recipients can verify your identity. Hence attempts to impersonate you or your company are less likely to succeed.

Email certificates also enable the use of S/MIME encryption to further protect your communication from man-in-the-middle attacks and industrial espionage.

Email & Organization Validation

What do the different validation methods mean?

Email Validation

This most basic verification confirms that you have control for the email address. No additional information is required or included in the certificate.

Strict or Multipurpose?

The strict variant is issued without EKU (Extended Key Usage) and is used exclusively for signing e-mails. The multi-purpose variant of the certificates allows additional application purposes, such as signing documents or client authentication.

Organization Validation

This also includes your company name and address in the certificate and requires additional documents and business registry entries.

S/MIME VALIDATION PROCESS

1

Email Validation (All certificates)

We will send an email containing a confirmation link to the email address for which the certificate is to be issued. By clicking that link you confirm control over that specific email address. This process takes only a few minutes.

2

Organization Validation (Organization certificates)

We will verify your company registration information, ensuring you are indeed a legal entity. It is also required to verify that you are authorized to receive a cerfiticate on behalf of the company. This process usually takes 1 to 3 business days and requires either public business registration records or scans of official registration documents.

3

Install your certificate

Once the validation steps are complete, the certificate is ready for use. We will send you a link by e-mail, which should be opened on the same end device on which the CSR required for the order was generated. The certificate then installs automatically into your Windows user certificate library, for instance.

Certificate usage depends a lot on the software you are using. Please refer to our Knowledge Base for instructions for common platforms.

4

Replace your certificate (optional)

During the validity period of your certificate it is always possible to change certificate details, including the email address. Replacement certificates are free of charge, but adopt the expiration date of the former certificate. A re-validation and reinstallation according to steps 1 and 2 is required.

5

Renew your certificate (optional)

Upon expiration it is easy to renew a certificate for another year through your customer account or by using our auto-renewal subscription service. This triggers a new validation process and only if that is successful, another period is charged. This is purely optional and non-binding, all contracts end after the 1 year validity period if no renewal validation is made.
