Digital signatures are designed to help recipients verify the authenticity and integrity of messages that you send.When you digitally sign a message using your private key, recipients use your public key to verify that the message is from you and thatthe message has not been changed.Encryption is designed to keep messages confidential. When you encrypt a message, your device uses the recipient’s public key to encryptthe message. Recipients use their private key to decrypt the message.To send an encrypted PIN message, you must have a PIN and an email address for the contact in your contact list.
