Digital ID for email

I recently was looking into a Digital ID/signature for my OUTLOOK email client. Of course I don't want to pay for it if I don't have to.

I was lucky enough to find this page that offers free email certificates. Hurry, I am not sure if this is a promotion or not.

Why do I need Secure Email Certificate?

• Authentication - Email passes through many different computer systems without your knowledge. Not only are you unaware of the mail flowing through these systems, you may also not know where these computers are located, or even who owns and maintains them. Secure Certificates let you digitally sign your email to prove that the message and attachments actually came from you.
• Privacy - Any non-encrypted email you send can be very easily intercepted and read. Someone may be able to snoop on your email Inbox, or grab the messages as you wirelessly check your mail on a laptop. Secure Email Certificates allow you to easily encrypt your email and ensure that the messages and attachments may only be read by the intended recipients.
• Integrity - Regular, unsecured email can easily be faked. Messages can be produced that look as though they were from a particular person or organization, when they were from someone completely different. Digitally signing email with a digital Certificate means that it is impossible for anyone to alter the contents of your mail without the recipient being alerted.
