This way only committers with an already valid key can add or change keys in the keyring. + +Since OpensSSH 8.8 this file allows specifying a key lifetime using valid-after & +valid-before options. Git will mark signatures as valid if the signing key was +valid at the time of the signatures creation. This allows users to change a +signing key without invalidating all previously made signatures. ++ Using a SSH CA key with the cert-authority option (see ssh-keygen(1) "CERTIFICATES") is also valid. |
