At Indiana University, you can use ARCHIVED: S/MIME client certificates from the InCommon Certificate Service to digitally sign and/or ARCHIVED: encrypt email messages. For instructions on getting a client certificate, see ARCHIVED: Get an S/MIME client certificate for digital email signatures at IU. For information about potential issues affecting various applications and devices, see ARCHIVED: Known issues with using S/MIME client certificates to digitally sign or encrypt email at IU.
You should already have your certificate file from InCommon on your personal computer. If you are unable to find your certificate file, you can export it from the certificate management application for your computer. For export instructions, see ARCHIVED: Use digital signatures for email with Apple Mail and Outlook for macOS or Disable your client certificate.

Use a group account certificate
To use an S/MIME client certificate with a group account, install and enable the certificate as you would for a standard account.

- If the profile you are using in your email client is your personal account and you want to send email from the group account, in your email message, open the "From" field and enter the group account address. If your personal account has "send as" rights for the group account, there should be no issues. If you are unsure whether you have "send as" rights, contact your IT Pro.
