RSA keys may be between 1024 and 4096 bits long. What keysize do you want? (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) Key does not expire at all
Is this correct? (y/N) y
GnuPG needs to construct a user ID to identify your key. Real name: abc123 Email address: abc123@csie.cyut.edu.tw Comment: ABC You selected this USER-ID: "abc123 (ABC) <abc123@csie.cyut.edu.tw>"

You need a Passphrase to protect your 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. gpg: /home/deyu1/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created gpg: key A98B198E marked as ultimately trusted public and secret key created and signed. gpg: checking the trustdb gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model gpg: depth: 0 valid: 1 signed: 0 trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u pub 2048R/A98B198E 2014-05-26 Key fingerprint = 1DD5 7E72 C442 D1E4 65E4 14CE 62B0 1911 A98B 198E uid abc123 (ABC) <abc123@csie.cyut.edu.tw> sub 2048R/C039E2B6 2014-05-26
