When I started using gnupg, I had set my key to expire a year later.It should warn anyone who's using the public key after it has expired that the key
This day recently passed, and I'm curious if there is anything special I
need to do about the old one (like revoke it, etc) and how I would go
about doing that.
After reading man gpg and the gentoo gnupg docs, i ended up making a
certificate, as well as doing a revoke (although it didnt seem to
invalidate anything afaik).
should no longer be used to encrypt messages to you, rsp. to check your signatures.
There's no need for a revoke (which would trigger the same warning for a key
that is not yet expired, but the revoke has to be distributed alongside a newer key
rsp. over keyservers before it becomes effective).
You can test this by encrypting a message to yourself (using the expired key).
A similiar warning should be shown when you try to use your expired private key.
You can test this by signing a message with it.
