$objectRootA client-side encryption S/MIME key pair, which is comprised of a public key, its certificate chain, and metadata for its paired private key. Gmail uses the key pair to complete the following tasks: - Sign outgoing client-side encrypted messages. - Save and reopen drafts of client-side encrypted messages. - Save and reopen sent messages. - Decrypt incoming or archived S/MIME messages. For administrators managing identities and keypairs for users in their organization, requests require authorization with a [service account](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount) that has [domain-wide delegation authority](https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/OAuth2ServiceAccount#delegatingauthority) to impersonate users with the `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.settings.basic` scope.
