That is actually a really nice metaphor they came up with. The seal and imprint are pretty useful for explaining signed email.

I already explain encrypted email to colleagues with the key and lock metaphor: I give you a box full of open padlocks to which only I hold the key, and you do the same for me. Anyone can have the padlocks as long as you keep the key secure. Seems to work.
