Fix usage inconsistency
Master key shall only be used to certify other keys. The usage indicator in
README.md is inconsistently shown as SC and C.

Set touch policy to fixed.
Setting the touch policy to `on` does not prevent the policy from
later being turned off again. Setting it to `fixed` is more secure
because it can not be turned off.

If someone wants to disable the touch policy they can always restore
the keys from the backups created in the guide.

Add information on potential PIN issues and how to debug them
I missed the error message when attempting to set a PIN of only 5 characters due
to the UI repeating the options below it.
Pinentry happily stores the bogus PIN and even counts down the retry counter
when entering the correct (default) one. This can be resolved by unblocking the
PIN.
Once I ran the gpg-agent with debug output (a tip found in the added link), the
issue was obvious.

Fix order of revocation command.
According to 'man gpg' the order of arguments should be

gpg [--homedir name] [--options file] [options] command [args]

In this case '--gen-revoke' is the command, '$KEYID' is an argument and
'--output $GNUPGHOME/revoke.asc' is an option. Previously this was
incorrect (option came first) and would spawn an error.

Add steps for renewing (not rotating) sub-keys
2020-04-13 23:14:54 +00:00
Daniel Sockwell b5adb349ad Add steps for renewing (not rotating) sub-keys
As discussed in issue #164, the current section on Rotating Keys
presents two alternatives: replacing the existing keys with a newly
generated key or extending the validity of existing keys by changing
their expiration.  However, it only provides instructions for the
first approach.  This commit adds instructions for renewing sub-keys.

I am far from an expert, and am submitting this change mostly in hopes
that it will provide documentation for the next time I need to renew
my sub-keys.  I would welcome any changes or clarifications others
would care to offer.
