Is it possible to reduce the expiry date of public key in gpg?












0















If I created a GPG public key with an expiration after 10 years and later I wanted to reduce it to 5 years, is it possible?



Also, if I already published the key to a key server, how to make changes there?

    The process for updating the key server will be up to the key server.
