Gpg Full Generate Key Invalid Option
Your 'GPG key ID' consists of 8 hex digits identifying the public key. In the example above, the GPG key ID is 1B2AFA1C. In most cases, if you are asked for the key ID, prepend 0x to the key ID, as in 0x6789ABCD. After your keypair is created you should immediately generate a revocation certificate for the primary public key using the option -gen-revoke. If you forget your passphrase or if your private key is compromised or lost, this revocation certificate may be published to notify others that the public key should no longer be used. Full-generate-key-full-gen-key Generate a new key pair with dialogs for all options. This is an extended version of -generate-key. There is also a feature which allows you to create keys in batch mode. See the manual section ``Unattended key generation' on how to use this. If you are on version 2.1.17 or greater, paste the text below to generate a GPG key pair. $ gpg -full-generate-key; If you are not on version 2.1.17 or greater, the gpg -full-generate-key command doesn't work. Paste the text below and skip to step 6. $ gpg -default-new-key-algo rsa4096 -gen-key. Full-generate-key seems to be a new synonym, added in GnuPG 2.2. The manpage for Ubuntu 18.04 mentions it, but not older manpages, which only list -full-gen-key. Note that -full-gen-key itself is a rename of the -gen-key option in GnuPG 2.1.0 (2014), so you have to use the older option name with Ubuntu 14.04.
Jun 30, 2018 Create Your Public/Private Key Pair and Revocation Certificate. Use gpg -full-gen-key command to generate your key pair. Gpg -full-gen-key. It asks you what kind of key you want. Notice there’re four options. The default is to create a RSA public/private key pair and also a RSA signing key. Let’s hit Enter to select the default. If, for example, the email address on the key becomes invalid, an expiration date will remind others to stop using that public key. Please specify how long the key should be valid. 0 = key does not expire d = key expires in n days w = key expires in n weeks m = key expires in n months y = key expires in n years key is valid for?

Originally I had a couple extra steps to use rng-tools to seed entropy from /dev/urandom. Apparently this is a bad idea because it will just feed bytes regardless of whether there's enough entropy. Here's where I got the original idea, and the subsequent discussion of why it's bad. For new machines, we should generate the keys on our laptops where there's much more entropy to draw from, and then transfer them to the new server, just like we're currently doing with the encrypted data bag secret. |
