Class 1 Silver Certificates

Additional Details

Increasingly, the internet is being used as the preferred channel for communication, which means that sensitive personal information is being exchanged every time you send or receive an email. An easy way to mitigate this vulnerability is to digitally sign and encrypt all your personal emails.

With e-Mudhra’s Class 1 Silver Certificates, you can secure all communication related to non-commercial transactions where proof of identity is not mandatory. Digitally signed and encrypted information is confidential and accessible only to authorized people. All you need to have is a valid personal e-mail address.

The Class 1 Silver certificates enable you to:

Digitally sign your e-mail, in which you assure your recipient that the mail has come from you.

Encrypt your e-mail, where you block unauthorized people from receiving or reading your e-mails.

Electronically authenticate your identity to web servers, where you establish a communication link with the web server to secure your confidential information such as credit card details, password details, etc.

Class 1 Silver Individual certificates are legally valid as per the Indian Information Technology Act, 2000. However, since they do not provide strong authentication of user identity, they are not applicable for commercial use.
