In the next step, you need to set up an email address and a certificate to sign messages. I recommend that you delete the existing settings first or click the „New“ button. 

In the Security Settings Name field, enter the e-mail address from which you want to send signed messages and which is also included in the certificate. 

It is also necessary to tick: Default Secutity Setting for this cryptographic message format and Default Security Setting for all cryptographic message. As you can see in the picture. 

Now click on the button Choose...

A window with certificate selection will appear. You choose your Qualified Certificate (Issuer: I.CA Qualified 2 ...) and click on „OK“ button.

You will already see your certificate selected for signing. I recommend to set Hash Algorithm to SHA256 and confirm with „OK“. This completes the signing certificate setup.
