  1. Click + to open the Generate PGP Key Pair dialog box.
  2. Specify these key identification fields:
    Name
    Name of the key
    E-mail
    This field is not in use yet, but in the future it can be used to, for example,notify the user that the key is going to expire.
    Description
    This field is optional. You can specify a comment in the Description field.
  3. Optionally, change the expiration date or clear the Set Expiration Date check box.

    By default, the key expiration date is set to 2 years.

    When clearing the check box the generated key never expires.

  4. Optionally, select the Export public key check box.

    When a new PGP key is generated the public key is exported.

  5. Click OK.
    The PGP key pair is generated and added to the list of available keys.
