Hi,
is there someone who knows why Outlook asks for a simmetrical algorithm
(such as DES or 3DES) while choosing a certificate to encrypt mails?
It seems strange to me because, using a digital certificate, means using an
asymmetrical cryptography so there's no needs to provide (using S/MIME) a
simmetrical keys (DES or 3DES) too.

Thank you
Fabrizio
