I lost track of this due to other priorities, but picking through some of the |
| 27 |
follow-up messages about the lead time on renewals and all, I don't have a |
| 28 |
problem with that. But why is the maximum of one year on subkey/signing key |
| 29 |
expiration still here? |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I'm not seeing a lot of additional follow-up on that, but that is still too |
| 32 |
short. Two years is perfectly fine in this case. I'd prefer three years |
| 33 |
myself, but am willing to compromise for two. I am not doing one year unless |
| 34 |
someone drops some really convincing logic on me. And no, scrawling "logic" on |
| 35 |
the side of an anvil doesn't count. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Does anyone know what the other projects require for their keys? Without a |
| 38 |
proper explanation of //why// one year needs to be the maximum, looking to what |
| 39 |
other projects use seems sensible for guidance. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
I can't seem to find any specific guidance from Debian, but FreeBSD appears to |
| 42 |
be fine with three years on their committer keys: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
""" |
| 45 |
A three year key lifespan is short enough to obsolete keys weakened by |
| 46 |
advancing computer power, but long enough to reduce key management problems. |
