Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Features are Supported in Microsoft Products?

Team:

Can you tell me what if any PKI features are supported in Word (I'm using Word 2013) or Windows (I'm using Windows 7) or any other Microsoft programs.  I was wanting to create a Private and Public signature key to use for emails I send.

Answer
Answer

The Office products support digital signatures that are based on certificates. The certificates can be generated by PKI or by other means (including commercial certificates and self-generated certificates, although the latter don't provide a valid path to a root authority). A thorough introduction is at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc545900(v=office.15).aspx.

You may also find information at the TechNet PKI blog site.
