   Key expiry   
   26 Oct 17 22:08:17   
   
   How long do you suggest a key should be valid for?   
      
   I'm not certain, I'd set an expiry on one I created with an open end value in   
   2016 to 2018 y/day but now I'm wondering if that's a wise move or not?   
      
   I say that as my limited understanding of keys so far is that they gain   
   greater trust when signed by others but if I expire a key after only less   
   than 12 months to go then surely I have to start all over again with getting   
   the new on signed etc. so in my mind it's a disincentive to expire it?   
      
   Thoughts welcome.
