At the + first question, select 1. The next question asks you about key length. + The longer the key, more stronger it is. However, the longer the key, the + longer it takes to generate. This is your choice. However, 1024 bits + (default) should be adequate. The next question asks you if you want your + key to expire. Expiring keys make your key invalid after a certain amount + of time, so old keys don't float around active. This is the same concept + as a coupon at a supermarket. Next, you'll type in your Real name, your + email address, and a comment. You should not forge this information, as + it is used later to verify who you are. Assuming that all your + information is correct, press "O" to continue. GPG now asks you for a + passphrase. This is a password which you will need to decrypt and encrypt + messages. This can be any length, with any characters in it. It is case + sensitive, which means that it does know the difference between capital + letters and lower-case. Now your key is generated. It is recommend you + surf the internet, read your email, or write a letter in a word + processor. This help creates randomness in the key. + </para> + <para> + Once this is completed, you'll be dropped back to the command line. + Now you can view your key information by typing <command>gpg + --list-keys</command>.
