Setting up Notes clients for S/MIME
You can set up an IBM® Lotus® Notes® client to use S/MIME encryption and electronic signatures when sending mail to other users of mail applications that support S/MIME.

Setting up Notes clients to send encrypted messages

Lotus Notes clients need the following to send encrypted messages:


Setting up Notes clients to decrypt encrypted messages and send signed messages

To decrypt sent messages and send signed messages, Lotus Notes clients need an Internet certificate stored in the Lotus Notes ID file.

Setting up Notes clients to verify signed messages

To verify the signature on a signed message, Lotus Notes clients need a cross-certificate issued for either the sender of the message or the CA that issued the sender's Internet certificate. This cross-certificate must be stored in the client's Personal Address Book.
