   Hi Paul,   
      
   On 2017-10-27 13:00:54, you wrote to me:   
      
    Wv>> It seems a rather short period.   
      
    PH> Agreed... 3 years (see my other reply) may be better   
      
   They advise 2 years, so your first instinct wasn't so bad. ;)   
      
    Wv>> Whatever period you choose, at least generate revokation certificates   
    Wv>> and keep them in a save place, so if you loose the passwords of your   
    Wv>> key you can still revoke them...   
      
    PH> I need to learn how to do this and am not sure how to as yet, I'm using a   
    PH> windows tool paired with the gnupgp ... hmmm   
      
   On the command line it's easy 'gpg --gen-revoke [key number]' and follow the   
   instructions.   
      
   Your windows tool should have a menu option for it, if you right click on your   
   key, I suppose?   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
