|    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.              Paul              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A36 (Windows/32)        * Origin: Agency BBS | telnet://agency.bbs.geek.nz (3:770/100)    |
