Hi,
I have a question around key expiry that I can't seem to find any thorough
documentation on; & the @Gnupg twitter account pointed me here.
What purpose does key expiration have?
At first I thought it may be a mechanism for revalidating private key ownership
but key expiration doesnt appear to impact on trust or validity. So I thought
it may be a mechanism for time constraining key use but there doesnt appear to
be anything in the RFC to mandate the handling (or not as the case may/should
be) of expired keys.
Have I completely misunderstood?
Regards
Chris
