S/MIME can provide email signing and end-to-end encryption, but making it work consistently requires more than issuing a certificate. Certificates must be requested, validated, deployed, renewed, and replaced, while cryptographic operations must fit naturally into the way people already communicate. ZTmail App brings these tasks together in an integrated workflow, reducing manual effort and making certificate-based trust practical for everyday email.

Digitally sign outgoing email with the sender’s certificate to help recipients verify the sender’s identity and detect changes to the signed content.
Validate email signatures and their associated certificate trust information. Helps make the result understandable by presenting relevant trusted-identity information in the email UI ( T1 / T2 / T3 / T4 ).
Protect email content with S/MIME end-to-end encryption when the recipient’s public-key certificate is available. Encryption helps ensure that only intended recipients with the corresponding private keys can read the protected content.
Automatically decrypt incoming encrypted messages using the user’s private key, integrating decryption into the normal email workflow rather than treating it as a separate technical task.
An email address identifies a mailbox, but it does not by itself establish who a person is or which organization they belong to. ZTmail supports different levels of validated identity, allowing users to choose the identity that fits their communication needs. Start with a mailbox identity and upgrade to a validated personal, organization, or employee identity as needed. Multiple identities can coexist, so users can choose the appropriate identity for different recipients and situations.
Use ZTmail-trusted identity certificates for trusted identity display and certificate-based cryptographic operations within the ZTmail ecosystem.
This architecture is designed for users who want practical identity and email-cryptography capabilities through an integrated service.
Use certificates trusted by the wider global ecosystem for users and organizations that require direct compatibility with external email clients and trust environments.
The available certificate type depends on the identity and use case.
Combine ZTmail identity certificates with Global Trust capabilities. A ZTmail IV, OV, SV certificate provides the identity shown within ZTmail, while a Global Trust MV certificate can support compatibility with the wider email ecosystem.
This brings together ZTmail identity display and broader ecosystem trust without requiring every identity certificate to be globally trusted.
Certificates are requested and issued automatically according to the required identity level.
ZTmail automatically configures the selected certificate for email signing and encryption.
Certificates are renewed automatically before expiration.
When a new certificate becomes available, ZTmail automatically switches to it.
The client-cloud structure for S/MIME certificate automation follows RFC 8555 and RFC 8823 standards for RSA algorithm certificate, and the SM2 certificate automation follows the draft Chinese commercial cryptography standard, ‘Automated Certificate Management Protocol,’ led by ZoTrus Technology.
ZTmail App builds on established cryptographic standards for email, supporting your choice of cryptographic technology to meet interoperability, performance, regulatory, and future-security requirements.
