Please select what kind of key you want:
   (1) RSA and RSA (default)
   (2) DSA and Elgamal
   (3) DSA (sign only)
   (4) RSA (sign only)
  (14) Existing key from card
Your selection? 1

RSA keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long.
What keysize do you want? (3072) 2048

Requested keysize is 2048 bits
Please specify how long the key should be valid.
         0 = key does not expire
      <n>  = key expires in n days
      <n>w = key expires in n weeks
      <n>m = key expires in n months
      <n>y = key expires in n years
Key is valid for? (0) 2y

Key expires at Sun 14 Sep 2025 12:39:48 PM PDT
Is this correct? (y/N) y

GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key.

Real name: Darth Vader

Email address: [email protected]

Comment:

You selected this USER-ID:
    "Darth Vader <[email protected]>"

Change (N)ame, (C)omment, (E)mail or (O)kay/(Q)uit? O

Provide a passphrase to secret key

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
