I am trying to create a PGP certificate using Kleopatra in Windows. I got the Public key created but when I went to send it to the server I get a window that says I should create a revocation certificate but the software doesn't tell you how to create this certificate and what I found using Google was of no help. Anyone on the list have a pointer to a good help document on this.
I know absolutely nothing about the software you are using, and it may not even support this VERY important feature. You may currently get by if you have access to anything that will allow you command line access. 1. BACKUP YOUR KEYRING. Do it now, before you forget. No, I'm serious, do it right now. I'll wait. 2. Create the revocation certificate by revoking your key. On my copy, I use "pgp -kd [myuserid]". 3. Extract this key to a file using "pgp -kaa [myuserid]". This file is the revocation certificate. Back it up. NOW. I'll wait again. 4. Restore your backed up key rings. You backed them up as I'd told you to do, right? Hopefully someone will be along that knows about this software, or else you will have been able to decipher my directions. BTW, those match my copy of PGP which may or may not still work (it's either 8.mumble or 9.mumble). Hopefully this helps, or at least points you in the right direction. -- Do not rouse the Old Ones from the chthonic caverns of their repose.
