It is not possible to set a valid from date. Actuall there is no valid from date but just the creatuion time of the key. When selecting a key, GnuPG ignores those created in the future. If you ant to hack support for it, check out make_timestamp(). I can see no reason for using a valid from key. Simply create it when you need it. > If two encryption subkeys are valid in the same period of time, how does > gpg select which one to use? The latest key which fits the requirements (preference, algorithms etc.) is used. Keys created in the future are ignored for this purpose.
