In OpenPGP encryption, keys have an expiration time for security purposes. This feature allows users to set a timeframe after which their encryption keys become invalid, ensuring that outdated or compromised keys don’t pose a security risk. This guide explains how to manage the expiration of your company’s keys using our Enterprise Admin Panel.
