With a TC Business ID, you can play it safe when it comes to business use of the Internet. You can receive encrypted messages and sign e-mails electronically. The electronic signature becomes invalid in the event of content manipulation or faulty transmission on the Internet.
TC Business ID is a personal certificate, which shows not only your name and your e-mail address, but also the name of the company; i.e. the certificate confirms not only your e-mail address but also and at the same time the association of the certificate holder with the company. As a result, your e-mails are also clearly distinguished from SPAM or phishing e-mails.
