If I made my private and public key and even a revocation-cert. Is the revocation-cert used to delete or deactivate my public key ( which has the sender ) or is it just a info-message for not using this key because it's insecure / no longer used or anything else ?
Keys on a keyserver will not be deleted instead the revocation cert is appended to your key to mark it as revoked (just like any other update of your key). Note that there may be many users with local copies of your key that are not updated this way, so you may still receive messages encrypted with your revoked key. -- Michel Messerschmidt lists@michel-messerschmidt.de antiVirusTestCenter, Computer Science, University of Hamburg
