Public authorities and organizations handling critical security information have particularly high requirements for digital communication. With an S/MIME certificate certified for VS-NfD, emails can be digitally signed and encrypted, ensuring that senders are uniquely authenticated and sensitive content is transmitted securely.


The solution is specifically designed for information classified as VS-NfD – classified information, for official use only and meets heightened requirements for identity verification, technical security, and organizational processes. It is therefore particularly suitable for public authorities, public institutions, and organizations that need to exchange confidential information securely via email.


Certificates are issued by a German certification authority following a comprehensive review of the email address, identity, and organization.
