+ <title>Creating Keys and Subkeys</title>
+ <body>
+ <p>The one thing, aside from GnuPG itself, that GPGME depends on, of course, is the keys
+ themselves. So it is necessary to be able to generate them and modify them by adding
+ subkeys, revoking or disabling them, sometimes deleting them and doing the same for user
+ IDs.</p>
+ <p>In the following examples a key will be created for the world's greatest secret agent,
+ Danger Mouse. Since Danger Mouse is a secret agent he needs to be able to protect
+ information to <tt>SECRET</tt> level clearance, so his keys will be 3072-bit keys.</p>
+ <p>The pre-configured <filepath>gpg.conf</filepath> file which sets cipher, digest and other
+ preferences contains the following configuration parameters:</p>
+ <p>
+ <codeblock id="gpg-config">expert
+allow-freeform-uid
+allow-secret-key-import
+trust-model tofu+pgp
