Yes, it's even possible without invalidating certificates. This is a known design flaw in OpenPGP. I hope some day GnuPG will implement a workaround (e.g. limiting the validity period of certificates to that of the certified key). -- Florian Weimer Florian.Weimer@RUS.Uni-Stuttgart.DE University of Stuttgart http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/ RUS-CERT +49-711-685-5973/fax +49-711-685-5898
