Using S/MIME encryption with self-signed certificates

Is it possible to use gpgsm to encrypt data for a self-signed X.509 certificate? Right now, the program bails out with "issuer certificate is not marked as a CA", and I would like to work around that, preferably without running a full CA. -- Florian Weimer BFK edv-

Re: Generic question: Correct content-type?

He probably wants you to send your message in OpenPGP/MIME format. This is the better choice for various reasons, but it's still less supported in the field. -- Florian Weimer<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100

Re: Ignoring expiration dates

is a hard fact in X.509, and rather fuzzy in OpenPG. Would you accept a patch, even if it's a kludge? (Expiration doesn't seem to be signalled separately, so we'd have to change the code that generates the expiration flag, and not the code that uses it.) -- Florian Weimer

Ignoring expiration dates

Is it possible to ignore the key expiration date during encryption? Unfortunately, people tend to set expiration dates without thinking about the consequences. It's not always possible to get a new self-signature in a reasonable time frame. -- Florian Weimer<[EMAIL P
