6 I'm not sure that's applicable to /keys/ verses /certificates/.
7
8 Excerpt from the ssh-keygen man page:
9
10 -V validity_interval
11
12 Specify a validity interval when signing a /certificate/. A validity
13 interval may consist of a single time, indicating that the /certificate/
14 is valid beginning now and expiring at that time, or may consist of two
15 times separated by a colon to indicate an explicit time interval.
16
17 Maybe there's something else, but it seems like the validity period is
18 for SSH /certificates/ and not SSH /keys/.
