Description: CAcert.org root certificates
This package provides CAcert.org (sub-)root certificates in PEM format.
Root certificate allows SSL-based applications to check for the
authenticity of certificates issued by the CAcert authority.
.
CAcert.org is a community-driven Certificate Authority that issues
certificates to the public for free.
.
CAcert's goal is to promote awareness and education on computer security
through the use of encryption, specifically by providing cryptographic
certificates. These certificates can be used to digitally sign and encrypt
email, authenticate and authorize users connecting to websites and secure
data transmission over the internet. Any application that supports the
Secure Socket Layer Protocol (SSL or TLS) can make use of certificates
signed by CAcert, as can any application that uses X.509 certificates,
e.g. for encryption or code signing and document signatures.
.
Please note that Debian can neither confirm nor deny whether CAcert
have in any way been audited for trustworthiness or RFC 3647 compliance.
