Description
The DigiCert S/MIME Class 1 (DV) certificate is an encryption certificate that provides email security using Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) technology. Class 1 indicates a level of domain validation, meaning the certificate verifies the legitimacy of the email sender’s domain, but does not require extensive validation of the individual’s identity or the organization. It is often used to ensure the authenticity of emails and protect their content from alteration during transmission. This type of certificate is appropriate for light personal or business use, where identity verification is not the primary concern, but security of email communications is important.
