In that case, I will need to obtain private key with openssl package and send my pub key to CA to obtain certificate. However, if i go with that procedure, my friends who uses GNUPg or PGP will not be able to verify my signature. I guess I am running into cross platform issues. in fact, I need to sign the message using a. GNUPg private key for those who uses GNUPg and b. S/MIME for those who uses GPG/MIME or S/MIME. is that correct understanding? > > > Timestamp: Fri 25 Jul 2008, 1033 Local (UTC -0400) > > ==== > . > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: For keyID and its URL see OpenPGP message header > > iEYEAREDAAYFAkiJ5CgACgkQ15k+1L3RO5CvcgCg29YKwP8QKma1JWTVbbwDWC3U > aSQAoOACE52Pj7wQrSiVNtUn5q58Kjhk > =7QU8 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
