You can always extend the key expiration as long as you still have access to the key, even after it has expired.

Expiration date should be within less than two years.

Use the -expert flag upon generation to configure it that way

your primary key is only meant for certification / authentication purposes (in particular not for signing or encrypting).

create a 4096bit RSA key, with the sha512 hashing algorithm.

Claws Mail, a full e-mail program that offers very good support for GnuPG.

GPG Explorer eXtension (GpgEX), an extension for Windows Explorer which can be used to sign and encrypt files using the context menu.

GnuPG for Outlook (GpgOL), an extension for Microsoft Outlook 20, which is used to sign and encrypt messages.

GNU Privacy Assistant (GPA), an alternative program for managing certificates, in addition to Kleopatra.

Kleopatra, the central certificate administration of Gpg4win, which ensures uniform user navigation for all cryptographic operations.

GnuPG, which forms the heart of Gpg4win - the actual encryption software.

It defined an hybrid encryption framework based on the notion of Web of Trust to offer basically Mail | Document | Git commit. GnuPG is an implementation of the OpenPGP standard also known as RFC4880.

Prologue: securely delete the temporary (secondary) keyring.

Use Case 2: Extending the lifetime of a key.

Use Case 1: Sign someone else’s GPG Key.

Importing the primary secret key into a temporary (secondary) keyring.

In Case of Emergency / Primary Key operations.

Backing Up Public, Secret Keys and ownertrust.

Create a revocation certificate for the NEW key.

Generating separate subkeys for signing and encryption.

Ensure that the new key uses strong cryptography preferences.
