Add a Key

To add a GnuPG key:

  1. Fill in the fields below the Create a New Key heading.
  2. Select the key size from the Key Size drop-down menu.
  3. Click Generate Key.

Make sure to use an appropriate expiration date. The expiration date is defined in years and describes when the key will no longer work; 1 year is the default.

The key will automatically be installed onto your web server.
