Generate your user certificate on your own
User certificate
As a student or employee/guest of TUM, you can easily generate a user certificate for your TUM email address(es) via TUMonline.
This certificate can be used to sign emails, but also PDF documents and other data. It is provided by GEANT (https://geant.org/) and can be generated automatically.
To do so, please select the item Email Addresses in TUMonline and scroll down to the item “Email Certificates”. Then select the e-mail address for which you need an e-mail certificate.
Click on “Request certificate” and an e-mail will be sent to you, which you can then use to retrieve the certificate.
