 WV>> You intend to get (very) old!? ;)

 TK> 2067 I will be 100 years old, I'll revoke the key then. :D

The point is that it expires at that time, so you don't have to do it
yourself! ;)

But what if you aren't able to revoke it before that time, if necessary?

 WV>> If you send me your key finger print through another channel (we have

 TK> Ok, crashmail might be safe enough for fido address. :)

That's for me to decide, if I have enough trust in that the key and
fingerprint came from the person who claims to have send them. ;)

Someone who can forge an echomail, can likely also forge a crashmail. But it
might be harder to also forge the email address we previously used to
communicate (and know my email address that was used).

Bye, Wilfred.
