What is a P7M file?
Files with the .P7M extension contain encrypted message contents and potential attachments in accordance with the PKCS#7, which stands for Public Key Cryptography Standards no. 7. The files contain S/MIME type data, which stands for Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, a secure version of MIME.

Sending messages in this format prevents unauthorized access to them, as opening such messages usually requires entering a password – namely a private key that matches the public key assigned to the message. This format is, for example, used to transfer sensitive medical or financial information.

How to open P7M files
If you cannot open the P7M file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports P7M among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the P7M file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the P7M format files
The inability to open and operate the P7M file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Digitally Encrypted Message file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a P7M file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the P7M file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the P7M from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the P7M format
- The P7M file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the P7M file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a P7M file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the P7M file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the P7M file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the P7M file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.P7M) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected P7M file. From the drop-down menu select 'Choose default program', then click 'Browse' and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the P7M file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. P7M) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
Installing the S/MIME Certificate on your Apple Mac
Using S/MIME Client Certificates with Apple Mail and Outlook for OS X
You can use Client Certificates, also called 'S/MIME Certs' or 'Personal Certificates', with most e-mail clients to digitally sign or encrypt e-mail.
When you receive your certificate from InCommon, it will be encrypted in the PKCS 12 format (.p12 or .pfx), using the PIN you created for it at the time of request. You will need this pass-phrase to install the cert.
The Incommon Certificate Manager will deliver the certificate to the end-user in PKCS#12 file format (.p12 file). The PIN specified in the PIN fields is used to protect access to this .p12 file. The end-user will be asked for this PIN when he/she imports the certificate into the certificate store of their machine.

P7m Mac Os X
Installing in OS X
- Double-click the file downloaded from the InCommon Certificate Manager.
- OS X Keychain Access will prompt you for the certificate passphrase; enter the passphrase you created when you requested the certificate.
The certificate will be installed on your Mac and will appear in the 'My Certificates' section of Keychain Access. The certificate is now available for Apple Mail, Outlook, and other applications that can use client certificates.
Note: Your certificate is only available on the computer and user account where you install it. If you want your personal certificate on other computers or devices you will need to export it.

Exporting your certificate
- From the Applications folder, open the Utilities folder and then open Keychain Access.
- Select the key-chain where you installed your certificate; this will usually be the login key-chain.
- In the 'Categories' section, select Certificates. The right pane will display a list of all your installed certificates.
- Select the certificate associated with your name. You may have more than one personal certificate in your Keychain; select the one issued by 'InCommon Standard Assurance Client CA' with the latest expiration date.
- Right-click the certificate and select Export; alternatively, from the File menu, select Export Items.
- Select a location for export, such as your Desktop. The file name should end with .p12 and the file format must be 'Personal Information Exchange (.p12)'.
- Give your exported item a strong pass-phrase.
- Now you can transfer your encrypted certificate file to another computer using a USB key, email, or other file sharing method.
Using your certificate with Apple Mail
Use these instructions to enable Apple Mail to use client certificates to digitally sign and encrypt e-mail.
Enabling digital signing and encryption
Enabling digital signing and encryption
If you have just installed your certificate on your Mac, close Mail and then restart it.
Begin composing an e-mail message. A 'Signed' icon, containing a check mark, should be in the lower right of the message header to indicate that the message will be signed. If the 'Signed' icon does not appear, select Customize in the lower left of the message header and add the 'Lock' and 'Signed' icons.

If the 'Signed' icon does not appear, select Customize in the lower left of the message header and add the 'Lock' and 'Signed' icons.
Signing E-mail
To send a signed message, verify that the 'Signed' icon has a check mark in it, and not an 'x'. If the 'Signed' icon shows an 'x', your message will not be signed.
You may not want to sign messages to e-mailing lists, because S/MIME digital signatures are attachments, which some e-mail lists do not accept.
Encrypting E-mail
If you have the public certificate for the user or users to whom the messages is addressed, you will be able to encrypt the e-mail message: In the lower right of the message header, click the open lock icon to lock it; when the icon is locked your e-mail message will be encrypted.
If you do not have certificates for everyone to whom the message is addressed, you will be prompted to send the message unencrypted.

Using your certificate with Outlook for OS X
Use these instructions to enable Outlook to use client certificates to digitally sign and encrypt e-mail. Enabling digital signing and encryption
- If you have just installed your certificate on your Mac, close Outlook and then restart it.
- From the Outlook menu, select Preferences.
- From the Personal Settings section select Accounts. Select your University Exchange e-mail account (if Outlook prompts you, click Allow to access the certificates in your Keychain), click Advanced, and then select the Security tab.
- In the 'Digital signing' section, select your certificate from the drop-down menu.
- For 'Signing algorithm', the default value of SHA-256 is appropriate for most situations.
- For the best usability enable all three check box options:
- Sign outgoing messages
- Send digitally signed messages as clear text
- Include my certificates in signed messages
In the 'Encryption' section, select your certificate from the drop-down menu.
For 'Encryption algorithm', ASE-256 is the best option. It is not necessary to check Encrypt outgoing messages; each email message can be optionally encrypted when you compose it.
