<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>
