HELP: PGP key file export TYPE: OBJECT SYNTAX: PGP(FILE='str',USERID='str',NEWUID='str',PRIVATE,PASSWORD='bin'/DEFAULT,SIGNERID='str',SIGHASH=MD5/SHA1/RIPEMD/SHA224/SHA256/SHA384/SHA512,TIMESTAMP=num,ARMOR(),FKM5())
This object can be used to define parameters to export PGP keys.
You can define a new user ID for the exported key. This is required if your cryptographic infrastructure does not support custom key labels so that you are responsible to add your email address to the certificate.
To export a private key, a password must be provided to protect the resulting PGP key file. Depending on the cryptographic infrastructure, exporting private keys might not be possible.
The exported keys are usually self-signed. If you provide a signer ID, then cross-signing is possible. If you provide your own user ID also as signer ID, then signing is done with the currently active user key. For example, if you export a key which will be active in the future, this key will be signed with the current active user key.
When providing a timestamp, instead of the currently active key, the key is exported that is the youngest of valid keys at the given point in time. If there is more than one matching key (multiple keys with same user ID and creation date), the key with the shortest validity period is selected.
If the ARMOR object is specified, the key is exported in ASCII armor format. Otherwise, the key file is written in binary form.
