Applying Digital Signatures
Getting a Certificate
You can get a certificate from a certification authority. No matter if you choose a governmental institution or a private company it is common to be charged for this service, for example when they certify your identity. Few other authorities issue certificates free of costs, like the Open Source Project CAcert which is based on the well-known and reliable Web of Trust model and is of growing popularity.
Managing your Certificates
If you are using Linux, macOS or Solaris, you must install a recent version of Thunderbird or Firefox. LibreOffice will then access their certificate storage.
If you have created different profiles in Thunderbird or Firefox and you want to use certificates from one specific user profile, select the profile in . Alternatively, you can set the environment variable MOZILLA_CERTIFICATE_FOLDER to point to the folder containing that profile.

Open your web browser’s preferences, select the Advanced section, click on the Certificates tab, and then choose View Certificates. The Certificate Manager dialog will appear.
-
Import your new root certificate, then select and edit the certificate. Enable the root certificate to be trusted at least for web and email access. This ensures that the certificate can sign your documents. You may edit any intermediate certificate in the same way, but it is not mandatory for signing documents.

When you have edited the new certificates, restart LibreOffice.
