== CAcert with Mailvelope ==
Here you will find descriptions, step-by-step instructions and manuals on how to use CAcert with Mailvelope.

=== Short overview ===
Mailvelope works with OpenPGP. Therefore our X.509 certificates cannot be imported into Mailvelope.

Also the other way round it does not work directly: A key created with Mailvelope cannot be signed by CAcert, because the CAcert software does not allow comments in the UID, because these cannot be verified. See also [[https://debian-administration.org/users/dkg/weblog/97|here]].

=== Use CAcert with Mailvelope ===

* '''Solution 1a:''' Generate private OpenPGP outside of mailvelope. (e.g. gpg --gen-key [[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Creating_GPG_Keys#Creating_GPG_Keys_Using_the_Command_Line|Source]])

* '''Solution 1b:''' Generate private OpenPGP outside of Mailvelope (e.g. with Thunderbird), then export and import at CAcert to sign and use at Mailvelope.


* '''Solution 2:''' In Mailvelope make sure that no comment is given during creation.
