Re: [PLUG] NJ Statewide GPG Keysigning Party 14 June 2006
|
I guess this gives me the perfect opportunity to ask...
I had a GPG key that I set to expire in 1 year. It's expired.
What's the recommended way to extend it? My memory is a little hazy
because I dealt with this a while ago, but I think I tried editing the
key to change its expiration and also creating a new subkey, and in
both cases it worked locally, but when I sync'd with pgp.mit.edu and
then updated from another machine, the changes didn't propogate -- it
still saw the old values and treated it as expired. (And if I
replaced the encryption key with a new one, I couldn't open my old
messages any more.)
It would be great if there was a way to extend the key in such a way
that it preserved the signatures and also let me keep reading messages
encrypted to be before the expiration. I'd rather not just generate a
whole new key from scratch.
Also, I'd like to add a separate "identity" or whatever with my work
e-mail (rather than having completely separate keys for home and work
as before). Any ideas on that one? I'd also need it to sync up to
the keyserver.
Thanks,
Aaron

Greetings PLUG'ers,
After next month's LUG/IP meeting, I will be hosting a NJ statewide GNU
Privacy Guard (GPG) keysigning party sponsored by 3 NJ LUGs. All PLUG
members (and the general public) are invited. I'm keen on creating as
many links between our new keyring and PLUG's established keyring.
Date: 14 June 2006
Time: After the 19:00 meeting
Location: Lawrencville Library, Lawrencville, NJ (near Trenton)
Main Meeting Topic: Xen Virtualisation by Jason Ganovsky, a
Linux Systems Engineer at Novell
Directions: (from USP) http://tinyurl.com/fd4z8 [Google Maps]
If you're new to GPG, I especially encourage you to participate: there
is only one better way to learn something than to use it. The area LUG
community is a safe environment to use GPG in: if you make a mistake,
most or all of the community will tell you about your mistake rather
than take advantage of you.
Participants should read the event flyer:
http://gnujersey.org/ads/20060614-ksp.pdf
*** Participants must email me their public keys by 9 June 2006 ***
If you have any questions about GPG or the keysigning party, post them
to the mailing list or email them to me.
-Dave
