Dear Eric
Thank you for your time and answer but yes if I know that nothing is exposed
, it does not mean that nothing is possible, especially in the marvellous
hook world.

And that is what I am looking to achieve a system wide hook based on the
selectcert function structure which is used in the windows api level during
the digital signature process. in this structure we can replace (subclass)
the time stamp value as needed. But I am not at ease with hooks and I am
looking for a specialist.

But I do agree with you in saying it would be much easier if it was exposed
public methods or properties from the Outlook object model.
Having said that if I understand well you do not have a clue on how to
achieve what I am looking for ?

Hi Herve. Simply put, there is nothing you can do from a programmatic point
of view with Digital Signatures and encryption in Outlook. There's just
nothing in the Object Model that integrates with those features.

Hi dear all,
I would like to be able to inject a reliable time stamp (which I get from a
reliable NTP server) into the outlook email digital signature & encryption
process instead of the local time stamp which is the normal behavior.
Anyone has an idea on how to achieve that ?

Is there any undocumented function which allow to hook in the tinmestamp
info in the selectcert structure ?
Any idea or code snippet very much appreciated.
best regards
