== Extending the life of your keys ==

If you lose your private key or think it has been compromised in some way you need to revoke it.  To reliably render a key unusable you need to revoke it. Revoking is done by adding a special revocation signature to the key.
The revocation signature can be created together with the key. In this
case it is stored in a separate file. This file can later be imported into
the keyring and is then attached to the key rendering it unusable. {{Warning|1=Please

use a place that is detached from your computer, either copy it to an
external storage device like an USB stick or print it out.}}

create such a revocation signature at any time choosing <menuchoice>Your Key -> Revoke key</menuchoice>, optionally importing it to your keyring immediately.

  KGpg es una interfaz gráfica para gpg


GnuPG cifra y descifra tus correos y archivos seleccionados, aunque se necesitan muchas opciones en la línea de órdenes para conseguirlo. Con KGpg la ansiedad se quita puesto que no tienes que recordar ninguna opción. KGpg puede ayudarte a configurar y gestionar tus claves, importar y exportar claves, ver las firmas de las claves, estados de confianza y fechas de caducidad. De hecho, prácticamente todo lo que necesitas se puede hacer desde KGpg. Además dispone de un asistente para ayudarte en la configuración de tus claves.

KGpg está integrado en Konqueror y Dolphin, donde un menú contextual te permite cifrar un archivo, tanto firmado con sin firmar.

Extending the life of your keys

As you can see in the image above, you can extend the life of your keys using the Change Expiration button. Simply choose the new date from the popup calendar. To do this, however, you must have access to the private key and its pass-phrase. Without them you can do nothing.

Change your pass-phrase

Should you suspect your pass-phrase is compromised, you can change this also from the Key Properties dialogue. The Change Passphrase button is below Change Expiration.

Revoking a key

If you lose your private key or think it has been compromised in some way you need to revoke it. To reliably render a key unusable you need to revoke it. Revoking is done by adding a special revocation signature to the key.

The revocation signature can be created together with the key. In this case it is stored in a separate file. This file can later be imported into

the keyring and is then attached to the key rendering it unusable.

Warning

Please

note that to import this signature to the key no password is required. Therefore you should store this revokation signature in a safe place, usually one that is different from you key pair. It is a good advise to use a place that is detached from your computer, either copy it to an

external storage device like an USB stick or print it out.


If you have not created such a detached revocation on key creation you can create such a revocation signature at any time choosing Your Key -> Revoke key, optionally importing it to your keyring immediately.

Note

Currently this item is only available in the context menu. This is likely to be moved from the context menu to the key menu for 4.7.1.


Tip

Cuando inicies KGpg con la configuración predeterminada se ocultará en la bandeja del sistema. Si has iniciado KGpg y no aparece por ningún sitio probablemente puedas verlo si expandes la bandeja del sistema de Plasma.


Tip

Si el contacto tiene más de una clave - quizá algunas claves antiguas, además de la actual - y se usa la clave errónea en el cifrado, encuentra las claves antiguas su Trust status a Not Trusted. Seguirán estando disponibles para descifrar los mensajes antiguos, pero no se usará para los nuevos.


Un manual totalmente ilustrado te ayudará con cada detalle.

Si no estás en condiciones de verificar físicamente la identidad de tus contactos deberías leer la sección de cifrado de claves que explica los beneficios del cifrado local.
