From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've setup okular signing and it worked, but I believe it was with a mime certificate tied to my email (and not pgp keys). If you want I can try to figure out exactly what I did to make it work.

Briefly off the top of my head, I believe it was

Getting a mime certificate for my email from an authority that provides them. There's one Italian company that will do this for any email for free.
Converting the mime certificate to some other format
Importing the certificate to Thunderbird's (or maybe it was Firefox's) certificate store (and as a sidequest setting up Thunderbird to sign email with that certificate
Telling Okular to use the Thunderbird/Firefox certificate store as the place to find certificates

I can't remember if there was a way to do this with pgp certificates easily
