Generating Keys, cont'd

• Now choose an expiration date (to be used with all keypairs from the first selection)
• We're going to say that our personal keys never expire. If you can think of a reason for expiring your keys, well, good for you

• 	Please specify how long the key should be valid.
  	         0 = key does not expire
  	      <n>  = key expires in n days
                <n>w = key expires in n weeks
                <n>m = key expires in n months
                <n>y = key expires in n years
  	Key is valid for? (0) 
  	

• You can change the expiration of the key later, but then you have to let everyone who has it know about the change
