=head1 NAME

GnuPG::Key - GnuPG Key Object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # assumes a GnuPG::Interface object in $gnupg
  my @keys = $gnupg->get_public_keys( 'ftobin' );

  # now GnuPG::PublicKey objects are in @keys

=head1 DESCRIPTION

GnuPG::Key objects are generally not instantiated on their
own, but rather used as a superclass of GnuPG::PublicKey,
GnuPG::SecretKey, or GnuPG::SubKey objects.

=head1 OBJECT METHODS

=head2 Initialization Methods

=over 4

=item new( I<%initialization_args> )

This methods creates a new object.  The optional arguments are
initialization of data members.

=item hash_init( I<%args> ).


=item short_hex_id

This returns the commonly-used short, 8 character short hex id
of the key.

=back

=head1 OBJECT DATA MEMBERS

=over 4

=item length

Number of bits in the key.

=item algo_num

They algorithm number that the Key is used for.

=item hex_data

The data of the key.

=item hex_id

The long hex id of the key.  This is not the fingerprint nor
the short hex id, which is 8 hex characters.

=item creation_date_string
=item expiration_date_string

Formatted date of the key's creation and expiration.

=item fingerprint

A GnuPG::Fingerprint object.
