Hi,
is anybody using GnuPG for encrypting mail-messages ?
My Question :
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 ?
To deactivate your public key, you have to 'import' the revocation cert to the key server where your public key resides (if any) or send the revocation cert to everyone you send your public key to and ask them to import it into their keyrings (or just delete the public key from their keyring)
