@item Expire-Date: @var{iso-date}|(@var{number}[d|w|m|y])
Set the expiration date for the key (and the subkey). It may either
be entered in ISO date format (2000-08-15) or as number of days,
weeks, month or years. The special notation "seconds=N" is also
allowed to directly give an Epoch value. Without a letter days are
assumed. Note that there is no check done on the overflow of the type
used by OpenPGP for timestamps. Thus you better make sure that the
given value make sense. Although OpenPGP works with time intervals,
GnuPG uses an absolute value internally and thus the last year we can
represent is 2105.

@item Ceation-Date: @var{iso-date}
Set the creation date of the key as stored in the key information and
which is also part of the fingerprint calculation. Either a date like
"1986-04-26" or a full timestamp like "19860426T042640" may be used.
The time is considered to be UTC. If it is not given the current time
is used.
