In the physical world, you protect your written correspondence by putting it in an envelope before posting. In the online world, sending an email message is like sending a postcard: it is easy to intercept and read as it travels across the Internet. Instead of risking disclosure of your private emails, safeguard them with a VeriSign Digital ID.

Digital IDs are available for U.S. $19.95 and are valid for one year.

Installed in your Web browser or email software, a Digital ID serves as an electronic substitute for sealed envelopes and handwritten signatures, enabling you to:

• Digitally sign email messages to assure recipients that the email really was sent by you.
• Encrypt email contents and attachments, protecting them from being read by online intruders. Only your intended recipient can decrypt them.

NOTE: In order to secure your email with a Digital ID, you must use your ID with a POP-based email client.

You can buy a VeriSign Class 1 certificate directly from VeriSign.
