Nor a big miracle, this was the first test key I ever used for gpgsm.

Please send me your key and I'll check it out.

www.trustcenter.de provides a gratis certification service, in the
course of the certification, your webbrowser does it for you (Mozilla
works fine).  The otehr way is to use gpgsm to create a secret key an
a certification request - the hard task is then to setup OpenSSL has
you CA.
