What's up guys,

I have Hw assignment where I have to email my professor an encrypted email. I got my certificate for startssl.com and when I enter it into the outlook client I'm receiving an error saying that the other email doesn't have the encryption key...

Any solutions?

For some reason, I thought I had send a signed encrypted message first... I just need to send a signe message...

All you should need to know is your professor's public key. 

 

Do you have a public key for the professor?  I'm thinking a site like "startssl" would generate a public key (as well as a private key) for yourself, but in order to communicate with the professor, you would need his public key installed into your system accordingly.  That is probably why you are receiving the rejection notice.
