Outlook 2010 Email Encryption and Digitally Signed Certificates

Hello Experts!

I'm currently digging into ways to make our email more secure. I was trying to find information on what I would need to do this with email encryption and digitally signed certificates in Outlook. I also was wondering if it even makes sense or really protects us from unwanted spam and malware. Could anyone explain how I would go about this or what I need to accomplish this setup? Am I able to create these encryption certificates or digitally signed certificates in Exchange or from my SBS 2011 or do I need to go to an external source for them? Also, does this mean that everyone I send an email to would need my certificate?

Thank you in advance,

BJD

DSC's will not protect you from incoming emails, they are designed to secure your outbound transmissions.

Thanks guys.......So I keep reading how encrypting emails will protect us from spam but i don't see how. Does anyone know anything about how it protects against spam? I mean I'm still going to be getting emails from people who don't encrypt them so therefore I am still going to get spam, correct?
